Is 1200 - 100 considered AM or PM?

both 0000 to 1200 is AM, and 1200 to 0000 is PM.


Noon is neither AM nor PM But then computers arrived People are confused 12 should really say NN for noon and MN for midnight to be correct Now what do we do for a standard?

Use the 24-hour clock to prevent mis-understanding, as Europe and the US Military: 1200 is Noon, 0000 or 2400 is midnight. Thanks - I agree but that doesn't solve the computer time clock problem. The slot to the right of 12:00 on my system always has either AM or PM. Most of North America uses a 12 hour clock so the problem is not solved by switching to a 24 hour clock. Greenwich doesn't have an answer - "12:00 AM and 12:00 PM have no meaning." http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm


What is midday on a 24 hour clock?

1200


How do you write 12am in 24 hour time?

No such time as '12 am'. 'am/pm' are the Latin initials for 'ante/post meridian' ; before/after noon'. If it is '12' , then it is either 'noon' or 'midnight'. It is NEITHER 'am' NOR 'pm'. Assuming you mean '12 noon' , then in 24 time it is '1200 hours'. If it is '12 midnight' , then in 24 hour time it is either '0000' or '2400' . However, '0000' and '2400' are NEVER used , because of confusion over the day/date. The earliest time on the 24 hour clock is '0001' and the latest time is '2359'. Organisations, such as Military, Railways, Commerical Flying, and Shipping. always use 24 hour time. Note ; In 24 hour time there are four digits. The left hand two digits are the hours of the '24 hour' day . The right hand two digits are the minutes of the hour. As an example '1200' , the '12' is the number of hours on the clock. The '00' represents the minutes on the clock. So 1201 hours is one minute past midday. Howevver, since there are 60 minutes in one hour, the second(right) hand digits never go above '59' . There is NO such time as '1261' on the 24 hour clock. Hope that helps!!!!!


How many hours between 1200 am to 200 pm?

I t is impossible to answer the question since there is no time such as 1200 am. It is either 1200 noon or 1200 midnight and, for obvious reasons, they will give different answers.

Is midnight 1200 hrs?

What time is midday on 24 hour clock?

1200 hrs. There is no such corresponding time for midnight. Reason midnight could be either '0000' or '2400'. , but which day does it refer. So midnight on the 24 hour clock does not occur. You have either 2359 hrs (on a given day) or 0001 hrs. ( the next day), that is 2 minutes later. .

Telling time - Marine time?

It's a 24 hour clock, so no AM or PM. The first two digits are hours, second two are minutes. The day starts at midnight, which is 2400 of yesterday and 0000 of today. Everything after noon (or 12:59 PM to be precise), you just add 1200 to the time. From midnight to 1 AM the hour is 00 (i.e. you subtract 1200 from civilian time.)

What is 12 pm in military time?

Are we talking of 12 noon or 12 midnight. 'pm' means 'post meridian' (Latin) for 'afternoon'. If it is 12 noon it is neither before nor after noon , it is 12 NOON. A similarl argument holds for 12 midnight. 'am' are the Latin initials for 'ante meridian ' ; before noon'. In military time ; 12 noon is 1200 hrs. 12 midnight is NEVER used because of confusion over the date/day . The time of '0000' and '2400' is the same instant. So to avoid confusion the earliest/latest times used are 0001/2359 hrs respectively.
