Time before noon.
Before the use of standard time, (Greenwich Mean Time, time zones, etc.) most communities used solar time. Every town had its own standard of time. Noon was when the sun reached its highest point in the sky on any given day. Solar noon happens at the moment of the sun's transit of the meridian; the geographical north- south imaginary line directly overhead that the sun and other celestial bodies cross. Before the sun crosses the meridian it is morning. After the sun crosses the meridian it is afternoon (post meridian). In modern times we still use the a.m. and p.m. designations, even though they are not technically correct.

Where is eastern hamisphere?
The eastern hemisphere is half of the Earth. There is a division that is arbitrary and a matter of history which give a designation of eastern and western to two the two halves. The eastern and western hemispheres are separated by an imaginary line drawn between the North pole and the South pole that passes through Greenwich, England. Everything to the east of that line is the Eastern hemisphere and everything to the west is the Western Hemisphere, and the two hemispheres meet again at a line on exactly the opposite side of the Earth called the 180th meridian or antemeridian. There is another designation of northern and southern hemispheres which has a more rational origin.
What are the definitions of the western hemisphere?
In discussing the geography of the planet Earth, it has become a matter of convention to refer to the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.

Everything to the east of that line is the Eastern hemisphere and everything to the west is the Western Hemisphere, and the two hemispheres meet again at a line on exactly the opposite side of the Earth. This derives from the need to specify locations on Earth by latitude and longitude. The lines of longitude start at 0 degrees and that line is the above mentioned line drawn between the North pole and the South pole that passes through Greenwich, England. It is accordingly also called the Prime Meridian. The precise location is through the through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in southeast London, United Kingdom.
