Abstract

The twelve hour clock is a time rule that divides a 24-hour day into two time periods, namely morning (ante meridiem in Latin means before noon) and afternoon (post meridiem in Latin means after noon). Each time period consists of twelve hours, represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 in a cyclic manner. The morning session is from midnight to before noon, while the afternoon session is from noon to before midnight. The twelve hour clock is still the method of displaying time for most analog clocks. Note that the number on the clock face does not have a 0, but a 12, so the starting point is 12. At 0:30 on a 24-hour clock, read 12:30 on the clock face and add meridiem to distinguish between morning (AM) and afternoon (PM).
