In different parts of the world (even in parts where daylight shifts from 
lasting most of the day to only a few hours), is the sun directly overhead at 
12 noon? 

Ignoring daylight savings time, would there be a wide difference in the sun's 
position at 12 noon? I ask this because sunrise times vary so widely, that it 
seems the sun's position at 12pm should also vary widely.
