2pm-2:30pm is considered mid afternoon
"Day" and "sidereal time" are not related to each other. "Day" is referenced to the Sun, while "sideral" is referenced to the stars.
5 pm is generally not the hottest time of the day. The hottest time is typically around mid-afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm, due to the accumulation of heat from the sun throughout the day. By 5 pm, the sun is starting to descend and the air temperature begins to cool.
This contributor, frankly, has not heard that phrase. But it does make sense . . . At the instant of time when the calendar date is the same everywhere on earth, the time is Midnight on the 180° meridian (roughly the International Date Line). At that instant, all the longitudes west of Greenwich are in AM time, all east longitudes are in PM time, and it's 12:00 noon ... mid-day ... on the Prime Meridian.
Mid morning, Midday (noon), Mid afternoon, Midnight...
The position of the sun at midday on a winter's day is lower in the sky compared to midday on a summer's day. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the sun's angle to change throughout the year. In winter, the sun's lower position results in shorter days and less direct sunlight.
'Midday' is exactly 12 noon. It is a singular point in the 24 hour clock. It is an instant, NOT a start.

12:00
mid-day
'am/pm ' is the initials of the Latin phrase ' Ante/Post Meridian' , meaning 'before/after noon'. So as an example 8:15 am would be written as ' 0815 ' in digital time However, 7:30 pm would be written as ' 1930 ' in digital time Midnight does NOT have a digital time, because it can be confused with ' 0000 / 2400 '. Organisations such as railroads or airlines NEVER use this time. The latest digital time on any given day is ' 2359 ' , which is 11:59 pm . The earliest digital time on any given day is ' 0001 ' , which is '12:01 am '. So if you have a digital watch, it will show the time as the 24 hour clock.
How about mid-day which is 'noon'
There is not enough information to answer this question, unless by 'mid-day' you mean exactly 12 noon, Fiji time.
About the same time as someone realized the difference from FICTION to REALITY
It enabled the navigator accurately to compare the time of local mid day to the time of mid day at the Greenwich meridian. The time difference is directly convertible into a longitude reading.

It stands for "Ante Meridian" - "before mid-day".
