It's neither 12AM nor 12PM. Those are improper terms.
The abbreviations AM and PM stand for Ante Meridiem and Post Meridiem, respectively. The terms ante and post mean before and after. The term meridiem refers to when the sun is at the middle of its arc across the sky.
Nominally the sun is at its meridiem at noon. Since it is *at* its meridiem this is neither before nor after the meridiem. It *is* the meridiem.
Likewise, midnight is neither 12 AM nor 12 PM. It is equally far from both. It is simply 12 midnight.
The military clock is better than the civilian clock for many reasons. One is that eliminates the complexity of specifically accounting for whether a time is before of after midnight. On the military clock noon is read as 1200 hours, and midnight is read as 2400 hours.
Pm
Noon is PM, midnight is AM.
12 pm is noon, 12 am is midnight
It's neither, 12 noon and 12 midnight are just that although there are a lot of illiterates in positions where they should know better!)
Yes. Pm is after 12 in the noon
noon
Noon is 12:00 p.m.
Noon is PM, midnight is AM.
am and pm change at 12:00 noon. before 12:00 noon is am. at 12:00 it is noon. after 12:00 noon it is pm.
PM begins at 12 (noon) 12 noon
12 pm is noon, 12 am is midnight
It's neither, 12 noon and 12 midnight are just that although there are a lot of illiterates in positions where they should know better!)
No, 11 AM is right before noon, 12 PM. 11 PM is right before midnight 12 AM.
Midnight to noon is 12 hours (AM), noon to midnight is another 12 hours (PM). Therefore, it is 12 hours from PM to AM.
Yes. Pm is after 12 in the noon
Neither. The designation is 12 noon.
Neither. The correct way to identify 12:00 is to say 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight.am stands for ante meridiem which means before noon and pm stands for post meridiem which means after noon. Since noon itself is neither before noon or after it, the use of am and pm is not appropriate. The same argument can be applied to midnight.
yes and noon is 12p.m. i know it's confusing
