Default Noon

Noon is when the sun is at its highest peak on any given day or location. in 24 hour time that is 1200 hours. You can use an air almanac or a sextant to determine noon or High Noon as the Movie says.

Time zones are just a convention to accommodate business.

It was fun on ships at sea to determine noon each day and then say,"It is time for lunch."
