What Are AM and PM in the 12-Hour Time Format?

The 12-hour time format is a way of telling time that divides the day into two cycles of 12 hours each. The terms AM (Ante Meridiem) and PM (Post Meridiem) are used to distinguish between the two halves of the day.

AM (Ante Meridiem)

• "Ante Meridiem" is Latin for "before midday".
• Covers the first 12 hours of the day: 12:00 AM (midnight) to 11:59 AM.
• Example:
  • 8:00 AM means "eight hours after midnight."
  • 11:30 AM means "eleven and a half hours after midnight."

PM (Post Meridiem)

• "Post Meridiem" is Latin for "after midday".
• Covers the second 12 hours of the day: 12:00 PM (noon) to 11:59 PM.
• Example:
  • 3:00 PM means "three hours after noon."
  • 10:45 PM means "ten hours and forty-five minutes after noon."

Key Points About 12-Hour Time Format

1. 12:00 AM (Midnight) marks the start of a new day.
2. 12:00 PM (Noon) marks the middle of the day.
3. The cycle repeats every 12 hours (e.g., 1:00 AM comes right after 12:00 AM; 1:00 PM comes right after 12:00 PM).
4. Unlike the 24-hour format (which runs from 00:00 to 23:59), the 12-hour format requires AM/PM to avoid confusion.

Comparison Between 12-Hour and 24-Hour Time Formats

The 12-hour format is commonly used in the United States, Canada, and some other countries, while the 24-hour format is standard in military, aviation, hospitals, and most of Europe.
