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.
New York City and Albany are almost directly north or south of one another. Solar noon occurs at nearly the exact same time in these cities. The last person who edited my answer is completely wrong. Buffalo is far west of both Albany and NYC. Local solar noon occurs a bit later in Buffalo than it does in Albany and NYC.
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.
When it's noon in Greenwich, it's 1 PM in Rome.1200 GMT = 1300 CET1200 BST = 1300 CEST
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.
the answer would be Solar 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.
A Solar Day.

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.
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.
