What time is solar noon time?

The same as local apparent noon. When the sun is the highest in the sky. This is true. However; to be more specific solar noon is half way between sunrise and sunset. It's at solar noon that a point gets the most direct sunlight of the day. To calculate solar noon you find out how many hours of daylight there are between sunrise and sunset and divide by 2.

What is apparent solar time determined by?

Its position and apparent movement around the sky. "Apparent solar time" is based on the "apparent solar day", reckoned by defining as 'solar noon' the moment of the Sun's highest altitude above the horizon on any given day. (That's when the Sun crosses the observer's meridian.) Apparent solar days do not have the exact same length (from one solar noon to the next) throughout the year, which is surprising to some at first. This is why the first approaches to creating a solid "standard time" involved determining the length of the 'mean solar day' (average solar day).
