When the Prime Meridian of Greenwich has the Sun at the highest Point in the sky, all the places along this meridian will have mid-day or noon - True.

Explanation:

  • When "Prime Meridian of Greenwich" has Sun in the sky at the highest point all the places that lies in this meridian would have noon/midday. As the Earth rotates from west-east, these places that are east of the Greenwich would be ahead of the Greenwich time and the places that are to the west would be behind it
  • The Earth rotates at  360° in 24 hours, that implies  15° per hour/ 1° in 4 minutes. Therefore, when at Greenwhich it is 12 noon, the time at 15°east of the Greenwich would be 15*4=60 minutes/1 hour ahead of the Greenwich time, that implies 1 pm. However,  at 15°west of the Greenwich, the time would be behind the Greenwich time by about 1 hour, that is, it would be 11.00 am. Likewise, at 180°, it would be midnight when it is 12 in the noon at the Greenwich
