Our Convert Time Calculator can quickly give you the answer. To use it, follow these simple steps:
When most people say 12pm, typically they’re talking about the middle of the day: 12 noon. When they say 12am, they normally mean 12 midnight.
There are no standards established for the meaning of 12am and 12pm. It is often said that 12am Monday is midnight on Monday morning and 12pm is midday. This puts all the times beginning with 12 and ending with am in the same one-hour block, similarly with those ending with pm.
Originally Answered: Is 12:00 AM yesterday, today, or tomorrow? While the standard clock may cause confusion, the military convention should not. 12am is 0000 hour, the first moment of a new day. Technically, 12:00AM does not exist, practically, it is midnight yesterday.
As the dividing point between one day and another, midnight defies easy classification as either part of the preceding day or of the following day. Though there is no global unanimity on the issue, most often midnight is considered the start of a new day and is associated with the hour 00:00.
