    All in the same time? But… Then the sun might go down at noon. That doesn’t make sense…

    Wait… Noon? Noooon…

    The word noon comes from a Latin root, nona hora, or “ninth hour.” In medieval times, noon fell at three PM, nine hours after a monk’s traditional rising hour of six o’clock in the morning. Over time, as noon came to be synonymous in English with midday, its timing changed to twelve PM.

    Oh now that’s worse
