Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — Noon occurs when the sun is exactly overhead on a meridian, so all places along the same meridian experience noon at the same time. The sun appears to move from east to west across the sky and crosses the meridian at its highest point, which is why this moment is called noon.
