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.

Why is the suns movement referred to as solar noon and not regular noon?

Solar noon refers specifically to the time when the sun is at its highest point in the sky for a given location, resulting in the shortest shadow length. It is not necessarily the same as regular noon, which is often defined by a standard clock time (e.g., 12:00 PM) that may vary due to time zones and Daylight Saving Time. Therefore, while regular noon is a consistent time on the clock, solar noon is determined by the sun's position and can vary throughout the year and across different geographical locations.
