When it is noon at a point on a meridian it is 2 hours earlier 30 degrees to the west of the meridian?
Yes, that's an accurate statement. In fact, its independent clause is always true, regardless of the time.
If it is noon at the southernmost point of a meridian it is midnight at the northernmost point of the same meridian?
Yes, that's correct. In a meridian, the time difference between the northernmost and southernmost points is 12 hours due to the Earth's rotation. When it is noon at the southernmost point, it is midnight at the northernmost point along the same meridian.
What would be the solar time of a person living 1 degree of longitude west of the noon meridian?
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.
When it is noon at prime meridian on the equator what is the time at 55 degrees north latitude on this same meridian?
At noon at the prime meridian on the equator, the time at 55 degrees north latitude on the same meridian would be 5:40 AM. This is because every 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour of time difference, so 55 degrees north of the equator is 3 hours and 40 minutes behind the prime meridian.

No. A meridian is a line of longitude and on that line it is the same time everywhere. You need to go 180 degrees round the planet to get 12 hours difference.
Why is the time to the east faster and the time to the west slower from the prime meridian?
The term "meridian" means "midday" or noon.The original definition of the Prime Meridian placed it at the "center" of the day, or noon, when the Sun could be determined as "directly overhead" at some point along the 0° meridian. This meant that midnight, the division between days, was at the 180° meridian, or "International Date Line", when it was noon in Greenwich. At that point, all points on the globe are marking the same calendar day.Because the Sun arrives overhead earlier east of the Prime Meridian, the time there is already after noon that day. Points west of the Prime Meridian will have their noon later that day, so they are "earlier" in the day.The terms "ante meridiem" (A.M. before noon) and "post meridiem" (P.M. after noon) follow the same convention. When it is afternoon at the Prime Meridian, a new day begins at the Date Line and "moves west" with the passing hours. Except at midnight, the Date Line will indicate a "day later" to its west than to its east.
What would be the solar time of a person living 1 degree of longitude west of the noon meridian?
