Apparent solar time
At mid-day or when the sun is as close to overhead of you as possible. At this time, your shadow will be directly below you and not long, as it is at sunrise or sunset. If you want which day in a year the Shadow likely to be smallest than it is June 22

the tilt goes towards the sun, the seasons chang from winter to summer
sunset comes first and then noon.
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. Add the quotient to the sunrise time and that will give you the solar noon time.
In France, noon is typically referred to as "midi."
The person would experience solar noon 4 minutes earlier for every degree west of the noon meridian they are. So, living 1 degree west of the noon meridian, the solar time would be 4 minutes before noon.
If a town to my west is in a different timezone, then its solar noon may be before or after mine depending on the specific location and timezone offset. If we are in the same timezone, then our solar noon would likely be around the same time.
Solar noon is the time when the Sun appears to contact the local celestial meridian. This is when the Sun apparently reaches its highest point in the sky, at 12 noon apparent solar time and can be observed using a sundial. The local or clock time of solar noon depends on the longitude and date.
the answer would be Solar TIme
Solar Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky, or closest to zenith, so there would be no direction of shadow, it would be under your feet. To test this yourself on Nov. 22 the solar noon in NYC will be at 11:42:15, go find out for yourself.
A Solar Day.
A Solar Day.
This is typically referred to as solar noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. It happens halfway between sunrise and sunset. At solar noon, shadows appear shortest because the sun is directly overhead.
The sun appears to move westward in the sky, at the rate of almost exactly1 degree every 4 minutes.If the solar time is Noon at 70° W, then at the place 5° east of there, theapparent solar time is [ Noon plus (5 x 4) ] = 12:20 PM.
Solar radiation is most intense around noon when the sun is directly overhead. This is because the sunlight has the shortest path through the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in maximum intensity.
