FAQ

Military time uses a 24-hour clock format where hours run from 0000 (midnight) to 2359 (one minute before midnight). It eliminates AM/PM ambiguity and is widely used in military, aviation, healthcare, and international contexts.

For hours 1–12, the time is the same as standard AM time. For hours 13–23, subtract 12 to get the PM hour. Midnight is 0000 (12:00 AM) and noon is 1200 (12:00 PM).

Yes, military time and the 24-hour clock are the same concept. The term "military time" is common in the US, while "24-hour clock" is more widely used internationally.
