12 hour to 24 hour conversion

The 24-hour system is a way of expressing time. It is different from the 12-hour system.

In the 24-hour system, 1 p.m. is written as 13:00. 2 p.m. is written as 14:00.

Although, in life, we use the 12-hour system more often. For example, we say that we get off work at 5 p.m.

When we say "9 to 5", we mean 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (the time when ordinary employees get off work).

However, in scientific and rigorous explanations, in legal documents such as contracts, time should be written in the 24-hour system.

The 12-hour system is a time rule that divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods, namely morning (a.m., Latin ante meridiem means before noon) and afternoon (p.m., Latin post meridiem means after noon). Each period consists of twelve hours, represented by the numbers 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 in order. The morning period is from midnight to noon, and the afternoon period is from noon to midnight.
