Is 1200 pm noon or midnight?

1200 pm is noon. Midnight is typically referred to as 12:00 am.


Is 1200 am or pm midnight?

Neither. The correct way to identify 12:00 is to say 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight.am stands for ante meridiem which means before noon and pm stands for post meridiem which means after noon. Since noon itself is neither before noon or after it, the use of am and pm is not appropriate. The same argument can be applied to midnight.


Is midnight or noon am?

"Morning." The abbreviations AM and PM stand for Ante Meridian and Post Meridian, respectively. The terms ante and post mean before and after. The term meridian refers to when the sun is at the middle of its arc across the sky. Nominally the sun is at its meridian at noon. Since it is *at* its meridian this is neither before nor after the meridian. It *is* the meridian. 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.


When is midnight 12 am or 12 pm?

Midnight is neither am not pm. It is "twelve midnight".


Is 12pm midnight or noon?

12PM is commonly used improper terminology. There is no such thing. If you see it in print it is wrong and you may have to use context to determine what the writer meant. The abbreviations AM and PM stand for Ante Meridian and Post Meridian, respectively. The terms ante and post mean before and after. The term meridian refers to when the sun is at the middle of its arc across the sky. Nominally the sun is at its meridian at noon. Since it is *at* its meridian this is neither before nor after the meridian. It *is* the meridian. 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.

What is 12 pm in military time?

Are we talking of 12 noon or 12 midnight. 'pm' means 'post meridian' (Latin) for 'afternoon'. If it is 12 noon it is neither before nor after noon , it is 12 NOON. A similarl argument holds for 12 midnight. 'am' are the Latin initials for 'ante meridian ' ; before noon'. In military time ; 12 noon is 1200 hrs. 12 midnight is NEVER used because of confusion over the date/day . The time of '0000' and '2400' is the same instant. So to avoid confusion the earliest/latest times used are 0001/2359 hrs respectively.
