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!!!!!
