Is noon considered to be 12 AM or 12 PM?
It's neither 12AM nor 12PM. Those are improper terms.
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.

How many minutes are in 233 mg's?
Unless it's an extremely uncommon unit, mg means milligrams. You cannot equate weight and time.
How many hours and minutes are in 165 minutes?
There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, 165 minutes is equal to 165/60 = 2 remainder 45 or 2 hours 45 minutes.
How do rate the speed of a train to minutes?
Speed is expressed as a ratio of distance and time. The distance is usually measured in kilometers or miles. The length of time is usually one hour. Therefore, a vehicle could be travelling at, for example, 60 miles (distance) per hour (time). Suppose you want to convert the speed of the vehicle travelling at 60 miles per hour (m/hr), to find out how far the vehicle will travel in a different unit of time, for example a minute instead of an hour. All you have to do is convert the hour to minutes, and divide the speed by that number. Divide the speed (60) by the minutes in an hour hour (60) and the result is 1. In this example, the vehicle's speed is one mile per minute. (This was an easy example because, coincidentally, the vehicle is travelling at 60 m/hr and there are 60 minutes in an hour.)
How many days are in the first four months of 2009?
2009 was not a leap year. Therefore 31+28+31+30 is 120 days.

How many googleplexeths are there in a nanosecond?
Technically the answer is 'zero', because you forgot to call it a "googleplexeth of a second", and you left it a dimensionless number instead. But I'll play your game just the same: 1 googleplexeth = 1 / (10^10100) 1 nano = 10-9 1 nano divided by 1 googleplexeth = 10-9 / [ 1 / (10^10100) ] = 10-9 times 10^10100 = 10 ^ ( -9 + 10100 )
How do you tell time on an analog clock?
Each second, the hour hand automatically moves a little toward the next number as the seconds and minutes' hands move. When it's at the end of an hour like 3:57, it may look like 2:57 because the hour hand is closer to the 1. It's because it's almost 4:00 and it's on it's way there but it's not actually pointing to 4:00 yet, but almost.
MinutesWhen the long hand points to the 1, it would mean 5 minutes after an hour, 2 would mean 10 minutes after an hour and so on. Each number, adds 5 minutes to the time.What about those other times like 3:27? Good question! If that happens, the minute hand will point in between some numbers. For 27 minutes, it will point in between the 5 and 6. Minutes like 21 will be between 4 and 5 but closer to 4 because it's closer to 20 instead of 25. When the long hand goes all the way around (360o) it would mean an hour has gone by.
Reading Hours and MinutesNow that you've read about how to read an analog clock, you know how to do it by hours and minutes! Go to an analog clock and see if you can tell the time from that clock!How many seconds you should be looking down the road to avoid last minute moves?

How do people long ago make calendars?
Well, the calender that we currently use today by de facto is a Gregorian Calender which was devised in the middle ages; but the Gregorian calender is heavily based on the Julian Calender constructed by Julius Cesar in 45BC.
