Because the sun is at its midday high point in the sky, like the 12:00 on the clock. But at 12:00 midnight the moon is at its middle high point in the sky, like the 12:00 on the clock, before it starts going down.

Is 12 am noon?

No such time as ' 12 am noon'. It is correctly, ' 12 noon '. 'am' is the Latin initials for ' Ante Meridian' , which means in modern English, 'Before Noon'. So if it is exactly '12 noon' , how can it be 'before noon (am)'? A similar argument holds for '12 midnight'. Yes!!! People do say '12 am/pm' , but it is quite erroneous, and leads to confusion. NB 'pm' is the Latin initials for ' Post Meridian' , which means in modern English, 'After Noon'.
