Think 12 noon is really "high noon" or solar noon? Nope, not unless you are in the center of a timezone!

The objective time of "local noon" also varies due to the Earth's orbit not being a perfect circle, and the Earth's axis being tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit. The variance is described by the equation of time:
