📚 Understanding AM and PM
AM and PM are used to differentiate between the two 12-hour periods in a day. A day has 24 hours, but we often use a 12-hour clock. Here's a quick guide:
- 🌃 AM (Ante Meridiem): From midnight to noon (12:00 AM to 11:59 AM). Think of it as the time before midday.
- ☀️ PM (Post Meridiem): From noon to midnight (12:00 PM to 11:59 PM). This is the time after midday.
- 📅 Midday: 12:00 PM (Noon)
- 🌙 Midnight: 12:00 AM
