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.

Yes. There is a 12 o'clock midnight and a 12 o'clock noon. Midnight refers to 12 o'clock at night, and noon refers to 12 o'clock in the daytime. The time of day between midnight and noon is AM. The time of day between noon and midnight is PM. Noon and midnight are neither AM nor PM, they are just 12 noon and 12 midnight.
AM is from midnight until noon. PM is from noon back to midnight.
