Local Solar Time is a way of measuring time based on the position of the Sun in the sky. It is determined by the moment when the Sun is at its highest point, known as solar noon. This time can vary depending on your geographic location and the time of year, as the Earth orbits the Sun. Unlike standard time zones, which are set by political boundaries, Local Solar Time reflects the actual solar position. This means that two places in the same time zone may experience solar noon at different times. Local Solar Time is useful for activities like gardening or astronomy, where sunlight is a key factor.
