Print Your Solar Noon Calendar
for your exact longitude wherever you are in the world

The time of solar noon depends on the Equation of Time and on the difference in longitude between your location and the standard meridian of the time zone you are in. It is slightly different for every day of the year. Our unique Solar Noon Calculator will provide you with a table showing the exact time of solar noon for your location for each day of the year.

If you prefer, you can print out the values of the Standard Time Correction, which gives you the amount to add to, or subtract from, the time on your sundial to obtain the time shown by your watch. The Standard Time correction is the sum of the Equation of Time, and the longitude correction; the longitude correction is the time the sun takes to travel between your longitude and the longitude of your standard meridian

You can find the input data you need for our unique Solar Noon Calculator from www.latlong.net or many other websites.

Note that our calculator requires that your latitude and longitude be in decimal format. If your co-ordinates are in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds please click here.
