Is midnight 12 am or 12 pm?

'Midnight' refers to 12 o'clock (or 0:00) during the night. When using a 12-hour clock, 12 pm typically refers to noon and 12 am means midnight. While most people follow this convention, technically this isn't quite right. To avoid any confusion, 12 o'clock should be written as 12 noon or 12 midnight instead.

Is 12pm a midday?

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.

Is it 12 am then 1 pm?
