Well, honey, local solar noon and local standard time noon are like two peas in a pod - they're supposed to be besties but they don't always sync up perfectly. Local solar noon is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, while local standard time noon is just a man-made construct to keep our schedules in check. So, they might be close pals most of the time, but they're not joined at the hip.

What is the time of local longitude known as?

The time of local longitude is known as local solar time. It is based on the position of the sun in the sky, with noon occurring when the sun is at its highest point. Local solar time varies depending on a location's longitude, with each degree of longitude corresponding to a time difference of four minutes. This system contrasts with standard time zones, which are often established for convenience and may not align precisely with local solar time.


Where to get solar eclipse glasses?

Solar eclipse glasses can be obtained from various sources including online retailers like Amazon, specialty astronomy shops, and major chain stores such as Walmart or Target. It's important to ensure that the glasses are certified to meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standard for solar viewing. Additionally, local planetariums or astronomy clubs often distribute or sell approved eclipse glasses during solar events. Always check for authenticity to ensure safe viewing.


Does local solar noon always occur for an observer in new york state when the clock reads 12 noon?

Local solar noon in New York State is almost never when the clock says 12:00. That's one of the things we sacrificed when we introduced time zones in the 1880s. People at that time realized that it was far preferable to be up to a half hour or 45 minutes off from actual noon than for every city to have its own time. The only part of New York where local solar noon coincides with 12:00 Eastern Standard Time is along the line of 75° west longitude, but even that is true only during the four months per year that we're not using daylight saving time.

Why are roof-mounted solar panels not always appropriate?

Does the luni solar calendar directly relate with the moon and the sun?

A purely solar calendar, such as the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used, has no connection to the cycles of the Moon, and is tied strictly to the solar year. Months are pretty much arbitrary. In a lunar calendar, the month always begins at the new moon, and dates always occur on the same phase of the Moon. A purely lunar calendar (such as the Islamic calendar) does not synchronize with the solar year at all. A luni-solar calendar such as the Hebrew calendar is primarily tied to the Moon, but also adds "leap months" periodically to maintain a rough match with the solar year.
