Frequently Asked Questions about Military Time
How Military Time Works
Military time, also known as the 24-hour clock, is a timekeeping convention where the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours. This is indicated by the hours passed since midnight, from 0 to 23. This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world today.
Converting to standard 12-hour AM/PM format is straightforward:
- For hours 00:00 to 00:59, it's 12:MM AM (e.g., 00:30 is 12:30 AM).
- For hours 01:00 to 11:59, the hour remains the same, and it's AM (e.g., 09:15 is 9:15 AM).
- For hours 12:00 to 12:59, the hour remains the same, and it's PM (e.g., 12:30 is 12:30 PM).
- For hours 13:00 to 23:59, subtract 12 from the hour, and it's PM (e.g., 15 45 time becomes 3:45 PM, 20 50 time becomes 8:50 PM).
