"Morning."
The abbreviations AM and PM stand for Ante Meridian and Post Meridian, respectively. The terms ante and post mean before and after. The term meridian refers to when the sun is at the middle of its arc across the sky.
Nominally the sun is at its meridian at noon. Since it is *at* its meridian this is neither before nor after the meridian. It *is* the meridian.
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.
Midnight to noon is 12 hours.
12 PM is noon. 00:00 AM is midnight. But for a considered opinion, see the link below...
yes and noon is 12p.m. i know it's confusing
No such time as neither '12 pm'. nor '12 am' It is either '12 noon' or '12 midnight'. 'am/pm' is the initials of the Latin phrase ' ante/post meridian ' ; meaning 'before/after noon'. So if somewrites '12 am' , they are confusing you as to noon or midnight. Because if it is 12 noon , how can it be before noon or after noon. Similarly for midnight.
It is NEITHER 12 am NOR 12 pm. The correct time is ' 12 noon ' or ' 12 midnight '. 'am/pm' are the initials of the Latin phrase ' ante meridian/ post meridian ' . which means 'before noon/ after noon '. So if it is '12 noon' how can it be before noon(am) or after noon (pm) . It is exactly '12 noon'. A similar argument holds for '12 midnight' How can it be 'before/after noon , when it is exactly half way between the two previous noon and the following noon. Also at 12 midnight , there is the question of the day/date, which one do you select. NB Yes people do say '12 am/pm' , but itis quite erroneous, and leads to confusion. , that's why you are asking the question, because you are confused over it.
Midnight to Noon is AM. Noon to midnight is PM.
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'.

Noon is PM, midnight is AM.
YES!!! On the analogue clock, which is constructed to show the time for 12 hours. So for Midnight , the analogue clock will show ' 12 o'clock ( hours **o**f the clock). The two hands/fingers will both be pointing at exactly '12' on the dial/face of the clock. On the '24' hour clock, the digital number will read either ' 2400' or ' 0000 ' This time is NEVER used by airplanes, trains, military etc/. because , which day/date do we means. The latest time on the 24 hour clock is ' 2359' and the earliest is '0001'.

AM is from midnight until noon. PM is from noon back to midnight.
