12 pm. Noon only last for about a second. once once second goes by and it turns to 12:00:01 pm, it is no longer noon, it is now afternoon. :-)

12 PM or 12:00 on a 24 hour clock.
by Alaskacatalog on December 23rd, 2006
NOON= 12pm
12am= nighttime.
Easy to remember by thinking 12 P= PRE [before] midnight [or daytime- noon]
12 A = After [or AT] midnight (going on morning)

12 pm I believe, 12 am is the beginning of the day.

PM means post meridiem (after midday) and
AM means ante meridiem (before midday).
So 12PM is lunchtime and 12AM is midnight.

12PM is Noon, 12AM is Midnight.

Noon is noon. It is neither am nor pm, which is why it and midnight need special words to describe them. It is like asking if straight ahead is left or right - it is neither.

It is 12pm. Quite confusing, here goes a good page on Wiki explaining it: http://name.ly/~xn

Meridiem/meridian means midday, noon.
There cannot be a 12am - 12 before noon;
we are talking about the day, not yesterday.
so we have 12 noon and 12pm;
for clarity: 12 noon and 12 midnight.
There are 24 hours in a day, so why
don't we let the last hour of the
day finish in the day? It would then
make far more sense to consider the
day starting at 1 o'clock. That's
how we count 1,2,3... not 12,1,2,3.

Noon is at exactly 12 p.m. and could be considered to last for 60 seconds.

Its 12pm people need to stop over thinking this question. it goes 11:59am-12:00pm, noon.

REGARDLESS of the fact that 12pm and 12am don't technically exist, you all must face the fact that our culture has made them necessary. Cell phones, advertisements, clocks, tv's, etc, etc. Things that are digital need these markers and have forced us to decide which goes with which.
I'm getting really tired of people saying it doesn't exist, because it doesn't matter, society has forced it to exist.
The general consensus is that 12PM is noon and 12AM is midnight.
by BigDaddyBS on December 12th, 2008
Noon is between 11:59:59AM and 12:00:01PM, so is PM.
Whenever I've had to program the time in for anything, I've used either 11:59AM or 12:01PM, to keep from having to deal with 12:00 AM or PM. ;-)
by dan on June 17th, 2008
AM means ante-meridian. PM means post-meridian. If I wake up at 7:00 AM, the sun is rising and is before my meridian. At 12:00 Noon it is overhead, thus still AM! At 12:01, it passes the meridian and time flips to PM until 12:00 PM or MID-NIGHT. One minute after mid-night, the time flips back to AM. And those FACTS beat a parking ticket in NYC!

Noon is 1200 on the 24 hour clock; 0000 is Midnight.

I agree with the comment, "There are 24 hours in a day, so why don't we let the last hour of the day finish in the day? It would then make far more sense to consider the day starting at 1 o'clock. That's how we count 1,2,3... not 12,1,2,3." I have always been annoyed about that.

12 PM = 12 Private message..... just kidding, 12 PM is 12 hours after midnight, or hour 12 (in a 24 Hours clock)
by deff on February 8th, 2011
Its pm, but I think the pm,am thing you have there in the states are weird. In Norway and Europe and the rest of the world, its 12 when its 12. And midnight is 24 or 00. We could also say 12 o`clock in the evening. But nobody uses pm or am.
Why do you use that when no one even knows that it stand for ante meridiem and post meridiem. Its just silly and confusing. Start using a 24 hour clock like everybody else.

It depends on what time zone you are in?
by DudeLer 2 on April 27th, 2009
noon should be am. 11.59am becomes 12.00 am...12.01 begins pm.
by hannahhutchins on January 8th, 2010
noon is 12pm
midnight is 12am
easy to remember as 12pm is the start of the afternoon and 12am is start of the morning

by Gelgel on December 12th, 2008
Noon is neither 12am, 12pm 24am or 24pm. On the 24 hour clock 00.00 is midnight and 12.00 is noon. I read of a court case in America where the person was charged for parking for too long without paying. The time on the ticket was from 12am to 12.30pm, he got away with it because he said that was only a half hour when he was allowed an hour. In fact he had been parked for 12 and a half hours

nothing is certain but death and taxes...and violence. Could we add violence in with the few things that are certain in life?
