Generation

# 12-Hour vs 24-Hour Clock The **12-hour clock** divides the day into two periods of 12 hours each: AM (midnight to noon) and PM (noon to midnight), so times range from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. The **24-hour clock** counts continuously from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59, eliminating the need for AM/PM designations. To convert from 24-hour to 12-hour time, subtract 12 from any hour greater than 12 (so 15:00 becomes 3:00 PM), while converting the other way means adding 12 to any PM hour except 12 PM itself (so 3:00 PM becomes 15:00).
