AM-PM Abbreviation from?
The AM and PM from the clock that tells the time with 12 hours for a 24-hour clock that shows the time to see this.
Abbreviations "AM" comes from the Latin meaning before midday ante meridiem or private to "PM" is derived from the word which means to post meridiem after noon. The higher the number, the time clock when the time for AM is the time from midnight to noon, the PM is the time from noon to midnight, as if it's at 8 o'clock in the morning to the AM, but if for eight hours, or it is pointing at the number 8 in the morning, but would like to sign up as a PM instead.
Said the 12 hours is popular in the United States. Some countries in South America are Spanish in Albania and Greece. Yes, but that the country will use the abbreviations AM and PM for all states. Albania will be abbreviated to PD and MD as the abbreviation in English instead. Most countries there is no other word that is often used by the United States.
For the next 12-hours of the time that the Egyptian initiative. But at that time in half a day, it is of course depending on the season. It is divided into half-day evening until sunrise. And another half day is from sunrise to sunset.
But the Romans were still using the 12-hour time as well. The time of day is divided into 12 time intervals of 1 hour using a sundial to measure. But at night time is divided into 3 phases, 3 hours to the time that no one during the first hour today. Some time may be shorter or longer than one hour, it is not.
In addition to the 12 hours that have occurred between noon and midnight. If you watch the needle will point to the number 12 that same time, but if the numbers are not the problem as soon as noon or midnight. I made the 24 hour time used to solve such problems.
It also is used as a wildcard instead of 12.00 N and 12.00 M at noon instead of midnight. But it had been used previously midday for 12.00 M (Latin meridiem) and 12.00 MN for midnight (Latin meridiem nocte), which is very confusing. It has invented a new use instead of 12:00 noon and 00:00 midnight instead. Make the solves the dilemma well.
