It's neither. That's an improper term.
The abbreviations AM and PM stand for Ante Meridiem and Post Meridiem, respectively. The terms ante and post mean before and after. The term meridiem refers to when the sun is at the middle of its arc across the sky.
Nominally the sun is at its meridiem at noon. Since it is *at* its meridiem this is neither before nor after the meridiem. It *is* the meridiem.
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.
No such time as 12 am !!!! Do you mean 12 midnight or 12 noon??? 'am' are the Latin initials for 'Ante Meridian' ; Before Noon. If it is midnight or noon it is NOT before or after noon. To answer your question, assuming you mean '12 midnight', then . from 5 pm to 12 midnight it is 7 hours. NB If you mean 12 noon then from 5 pm to the following 12 noon , it is 19 hours.
12am is midnight. 12pm is noon.
Strictly speaking, there is no 1200 PM. There's 12 noon and 12 midnight. 12 noon is 1200 hours.
On the same day it is 12 hours
03:10 or 15:10 In the twenty-four hour system: If between Midnight and Noon: 03.10 If between Noon and Midnight: 15.10. Search Google for: "twenty-four hour system" for more details.
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'.
It is 45 minutes.
Midnight is 12 am while noon is 12 pm.
Midnight to noon is 12 hours.
Midnight
12 PM is noon. 00:00 AM is midnight. But for a considered opinion, see the link below...
Midnight at Noon - 2014 was released on: USA: 2014
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'.
yes and noon is 12p.m. i know it's confusing
AM is from midnight until noon. PM is from noon back to 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.
