Is it 0 am or 12 am?

‘Midnight’ refers to 12 o’clock (or 0:00) during the night. When using a 12-hour clock, 12 pm typically refers to noon and 12 am means midnight. While most people follow this convention, technically this isn’t quite right. To avoid any confusion, 12 o’clock should be written as 12 noon or 12 midnight instead.

Is 12am the same as 00 00?

Another convention sometimes used is that, since 12 noon is by definition neither ante meridiem (before noon) nor post meridiem (after noon), then 12am refers to midnight at the start of the specified day (00:00) and 12pm to midnight at the end of that day (24:00).

Is 12 am the same as 0000?

This standard notates midnight as both 0000 and 2400 but advises that 0000 is preferred as it generally refers to the start of a day. The day begins at 12:00AM (0000 – Midnight Military Time) and ends at 11:59PM (2359) in these devices.

Is 00.00 a midnight?

But 0:00 is midnight. And 12:00 is noon–or midnight. Okay, 0:01AM means something. Whichever way you look at it, noon is noon and midnight is midnight!

Another option would be to use 24-hour clock, using the designation of 0000 to refer to midnight at the beginning of a given day (or date) and 2400 to designate the end of a given day (or date).

Military Time operates on a unique time system. Military time operates on a 24- hour clock that begins at midnight which is referred to as 0000 hours, with 1:00 a.m. being 0100 hours, 2:00 a.m. being 0200 hours, etc. all the way to 11:00 p.m. being 2300 hours.

Is it 12 am or 0 am?

It can be written both, 12 AM or 0 AM. But using 12 AM is more accurate. I know it is quite confusing that 12 AM is early morning but it make sense because AM means Ante meridiem -> Before noon. To avoid confusion you can use 24 hours time format (also knows as Military time)where is not AM or PM.

What time does the clock go from 12 am to 0 pm?

Then the morning could progress all the way to noon, when the clock would show 12 AM and then instantly flip to 0 PM (so 12 AM and 0 PM would both refer to noon). Then the clock would progress through the afternoon and night until midnight. The clock would reach 12 PM and instantly change to 0 AM for the next day.

Is 12pm AM or PM meridiem?

At exactly 12 noon, the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither ‘ante’ (am) nor ‘post’ (pm) meridiem. At 12 midnight it also neither am nor pm.
