Understanding Military Time
Military time uses a 24-hour clock system instead of the 12-hour AM/PM format used in civilian time. It eliminates confusion between morning and evening times by using hours from 00:00 to 23:59.
Quick Reference
- Midnight: 12:00 AM = 00:00 (or 24:00)
- Morning: 1:00 AM - 11:59 AM = 01:00 - 11:59
- Noon: 12:00 PM = 12:00
- Afternoon/Evening: 1:00 PM - 11:59 PM = 13:00 - 23:59
