about solar noon calculator

due to geographical / political perturbations, your clock time may be very far from actual solar time... it might be daylight saving or summer time, or worse!

no need to sacrifice truth for reality... if you know your longitude, this live web-widget will calculate clock time for mean solar noon at your location...

1  enter your longitude as decimal degrees –west or +east of greenwich, or degrees e/w minutes.  (for example, -107.75 or 107w45 is my location in new mexico, usa, north america)

2  on the calculator display, find your local clock time & time zone, and the solar noon time that goes with it.  (note: live clock for approx reference only)

to get your longitude, consult your local astronomer or astrologer, an encyclopedia, atlas or ephemeris, the local weather report, or your gps.

one could also go outside, put a stick in the ground and trace the shadow to determine actual solar noon exactly, for that day :)
