P.M. in a time means "post meridian." On a map, the horizontal lines that are parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude. The vertical lines that go from pole to pole are the lines of longitude. A longitude line is also called a meridian. That comes from the Latin words for "middle" and "day." Everywhere along the same meridian experiences noon at the same time, and meridian used to mean "noon." So times before the meridian are "ante meridian," and times after are called "post meridian." These phrases are abbreviated as A.M. and P.M

AM ante meridian
PM post meridian
correct as previously given.
the meridian is the Prime Meridian which is a line of Longitude running through Greenwich England.
If it is noon in Greenwich, then ante meridian or time zones before the Prime Meridian are AM ( in the morning ). Time zones after the Prime Meridian are PM ( afternoon or evening ).

“AM” stands for the Latin phrase Ante Meridiem —which means “before noon”—and “PM” stands for Post Meridiem : “after noon.”
