When facing the sun at noon in the United States, which direction are you facing?

At noon in the United States, the sun is positioned at its highest point in the sky. This phenomenon occurs as the Earth rotates on its axis, and at this time, the sun is generally located in the southern part of the sky for locations in the northern hemisphere, including the United States. Therefore, if you are facing the sun at noon, you will be facing south.

The position of the sun varies with latitude, but the principle remains that in the northern hemisphere, when it is noon, the sun is oriented to the south. In contrast, if someone were facing east or west, they would not be directly facing the sun at that time, and facing north would mean that the sun would be behind you, not in front.
