Latitude doesn’t affect when the Sun is at the peak, it affects how high the sun is when it is at the peak.
And when I am i Iceland what is noon?
Still when the sun it at it’s peak. Even in places beyond the (an)arctic circle(s), the sun does move up and down in the sky over a 24 hour-period, even when it doesn’t go below/above the horizon for many months. (Tho, it might move left to right “more” on many of those days.)
The peak of not at all in the sky? Either way your noon is whatever you want it to be. It is your body trying why do you care what they call it?
My point is length of day changes, and people will get up later/earlier depending on how they want to deal with or feel about it.
I find this so insane that people think there should be a “noon” when the way that feels to then is very different depending on where they live.
You want to slap noon on a particular time, feel free. It’s an arbitrary label. Nothing more.
Yes, it gets closer / further from the horizon, even when it is not about the horizon.
But, it always has a midpoint: noon.
Yeah, but it’s meaningless, full darkness or full daylight how the fuck would you know?
Anyways:
Places farther east in a time zone reach solar noon earlier and places farther west in a time zone reach solar noon later.
It can be 20 to 40 minutes different even if you think solar noon is somehow important (hint it isn’t, you decide what a 24 hour cycle is to you).
I hate these stupid arguments. Reminds me that most people are just stupid. It does not matter what time it is or where the sun is in the sky except to you because it’s relative, meaning that it’s meaning is different to everyone, so the labels we apply don’t really matter.
