Morning 12 Am Or Pm

Morning 12 am or pm. For example 5 am is early in the morning and 5 pm is late in the afternoon. It is therefore neither ante am nor post pm. Converting am pm to 24 hour clock. 1 am is one hour after midnight while 11 pm is one hour before midnight.
Am is the morning meaning between 12 am and 12 pm and the pm is after noon 12 pm but before midnight. The abbreviation am stands for ante meridiem before the sun has crossed the meridian line and pm stands for post meridiem after the sun has crossed the meridian line. After noon using numbers from 1 to 12 followed by am or pm the 12 hour clock system identifies all 24 hours of the day. Add 12 to any hour after noon and subtract 12 for the first hour of the day.
Note that you need to do this in a culture which uses this kind of format otherwise they would probably want to see a 24 hour clock. At 12 noon the sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. In general conversations and situations in english we use the 12 hour clock format. More often than not it s clear if we are talking about the morning or the afternoon.
Therefor 12am is midday and pm would start straight after. 12am is the exact moment the 12th hour of the morning finishes am and similarly for pm. The 12 hour clock is a time convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods. Each period consists of 12 hours numbered.
