Well, you must not live where I grew up, because I asked this very question...
...which lead to me grokking time zones, time, solar noon, etc in a way I don’t think I would have if I hadn’t asked. Somehow solar noon not being noon didn’t have a negative impact on me as a kid. Weird, right?
- heleninboodler 6y agoMy answer was (hopefully obviously) tongue-in-cheek with regards to this never actually happening, but more importantly, it was a response to the idea that children would find it strange that the sun isn't directly overhead at noon. I don't know how a child could find that strange if it so rarely even happens that it is directly overhead at noon.
