I was - still am as a matter of fact - under the impression that High Noon is the apogee of the sun's position for any one day at any latitude and isn't really a flex-time. The obtuse for midnight too, AFAIR. |

| 1276864 | 2012-05-22 23:14:00 | High noon is taken on the longitude, if your time zone, i.e. NZ's goes from 180 to 195?, the noon time is based on the lowest degree, in our case 180, so as we are not on the 180 longitude, the timing of noon and the Sun in apogee is different. | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1276865 | 2012-05-22 23:23:00 | OK - I get it - solar noon is not clock noon. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||

| 1276867 | 2012-05-23 00:07:00 | OK - I get it - solar noon is not clock noon. And if you think about it, clock noon is only going to be solar noon if you're at the right point in the time zone (assuming the time zone matches your longitude). Time zones are artificial, after all - there's no rule saying they have to exactly match where the sun is. |

| 1276868 | 2012-05-23 00:08:00 | Longtitude - latitude? Check Wiki. Solar noon Solar noon is the moment when the Sun transits the celestial meridian – roughly the time when it highest above the horizon on that day. This is also the origin of the terms ante meridiem and post meridiem as noted below. The Sun is directly overhead at solar noon at the equator on the equinoxes; at the Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23° 26′ 16″ N) on the June solstice; and at the Tropic of Capricorn (23° 26′ 16″ S) on the December solstice. |

| 1276869 | 2012-05-23 03:42:00 | Was trying to say that time is measured on the longitude which may be different than solar noon | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1276870 | 2012-05-23 03:53:00 | OK -- wait a minute guys. If youse guys actually LOOKED at my childish graphic, you might see that I'm stating that the time on both sides of NOON (or MIDNIGHT) and NOT the clock time (is that sidereal time?) - as I plotted - the advance and retard of sunset and sunrise will not be a simple curve, but one will lead whilst the other lags, only to seek parity and then the curves will retrograde again to an inverted replica of the advancing curve. Don't make me create another graphic. I can do it, ya know? |

| 1276871 | 2012-05-23 04:51:00 | Oh I looked at it, but it's too techonological for me and went over my head. I wasn't going to point out the made up times go in the wrong direction for sunrise. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1276872 | 2012-05-23 05:04:00 | There's always a critic. But you got my idea - right???????????????????????????? |
