In United States, noon is often called "12:00 p.m." and midnight "12:00 a.m." With this convention, thinking of "12" as "0" makes the system logical. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Fourth Edition, 2000) has a similar usage note on this topic: "Strictly speaking, 12 a.m. denotes midnight, and 12 p.m. denotes noon, but there is sufficient confusion over these uses to make it advisable to use 12 noon and 12 midnight where clarity is required.
It's technically neither, since ante meridiem (AM) means before the middle of the day, and post meridiem (PM) means after the middle of the day.
A second before noon is 11:59:59 AM, and a second after noon is 12:00:01 PM.
Neither. The designation is 12 noon.
Neither one
Noon is PM, midnight is AM.
12 pm is noon, 12 am is midnight
It's neither, 12 noon and 12 midnight are just that although there are a lot of illiterates in positions where they should know better!)
Yes. Pm is after 12 in the noon
noon
Noon is 12:00 p.m.
Noon is PM, midnight is AM.
am and pm change at 12:00 noon. before 12:00 noon is am. at 12:00 it is noon. after 12:00 noon it is pm.
PM begins at 12 (noon) 12 noon
12 pm is noon, 12 am is midnight
It's neither, 12 noon and 12 midnight are just that although there are a lot of illiterates in positions where they should know better!)
No, 11 AM is right before noon, 12 PM. 11 PM is right before midnight 12 AM.
Midnight to noon is 12 hours (AM), noon to midnight is another 12 hours (PM). Therefore, it is 12 hours from PM to AM.
Yes. Pm is after 12 in the noon
Neither. The designation is 12 noon.
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.
yes and noon is 12p.m. i know it's confusing
