    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. :-)

    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)

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

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

    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.

    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 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. ;-)

    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

    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.

    No such thing as 12pm 11:59pm - 12:00am

Did this answer your question? If not, then ask a new question or create a poll.

You're reading What time is noon? 12pm or 12am? - which can also be phrased in the following ways:

What time is noon? twelve pm or twelve am?
