The local time is decided by the noon time.

Local time is the time in a particular region or country. It is determined on the basis of the apparent movement of the sun. When the sun is exactly over the head, it is noon at that place. The length of the shadow is shortest at noon. The local time of each longitude differs from other. Thus, noon occurs at different times in different longitudes.
