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'.


When is it pass midnight?

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.


Is 1200 am or pm midnight?

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.


When is midnight 12 am or 12 pm?

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.


Would a town to your west have solar noon before or after you?

If a town to my west is in a different timezone, then its solar noon may be before or after mine depending on the specific location and timezone offset. If we are in the same timezone, then our solar noon would likely be around the same time.
