Is 1200am noon or midnight?

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.

Atlantis 100 watch and when you hold the set button it goes to hours but you can't change the minutes it won't flash on the seconds or minutes?

I found out that I was on the T2 screen (time zone 2) which only allows you to change hours......as if you were setting your watch for a different time zone. I pressed the mode button and cycled through the features until I arrived at the time which showed the day of the week. Then I held down the set button and was able to get the clock set.

Which country have 23 hours a day?

None. Every country has the same length day. The only time a day is ever 23 hours is when the first day of daylight-saving begins, and then it is brought forward 1 hour, technically making it the only 23-hour day of the year. Then when it returns to normal time at the end of daylight saving there is a 25-hour day to compensate.

How long ago is a billion seconds?

1 Billion Seconds is approximately 31.69 years. Here is how I calculated it:

1,000,000,000 Seconds / 60 seconds(in one minute) = approx. 16,666,666 Minutes

16,666,666 Minutes / 60 Minutes (in one hour) = approx . 277,777 Hours

277,777 Hours / 24 Hours (in one day) = approx. 11,574 Days

11,574 Days / 365.25 Days (in one year) = approx. 31.69 Years

What does hour mean?

In the terms of flexible working patterns, compressed hours means that you are allowed to work longer some days and less other days. For example, if you work a standard 5 days of 8 hrs per day = 40 hr week you could compress your hours so that you work 4 days of 10 hrs per day = 40 hr week.

How many minutes are in 75 years?

The number of minutes in 75 years depends on the definition of a year:

For the calendar years, assuming there are 18 leap years,

75 years = (57 x 525,600) + (18 x 527,400) = 39,445,920 minutes

For simply Julian years of 365.25 days, the number of minutes in 75 years

is 75 x 525,960 = 39,447,000 minutes

For the SI year (31,556,926 seconds) each year contains 525,948.77 minutes. and 75 x 525948.77 = 39,446,157.5 minutes
