    So, pretty much what lead to time zones in the first place. And yes, you’d have to change your clock every day as each day is shorter (or longer) than the last one.

        I was about to answer to the other poster that solar noon doesn’t change throughout the year. Why does it change 15 minutes? Does the earth wobble like the moon? It’s not related to leap years, is it?

          I meant to make solar noon always be 12pm. Adjust the clocks everyday to keep it so.

          Yes, the wobble does all kinds of things. The analemma shows how the days get longer and shorter faster and slower as the seasons progress. That’s because of the axial tilt but the earth woddles a bit it’s axis too.
