Please help settle an ongoing disagreement in this home!! Example: 12:00 Midnight on May 19, 2007 (Get your calendar, if necessary). Is this right after 11:59 pm on Friday night ( so this would be the beginning of Saturday am, or is the right after 11:59 pm on Saturday night (19th) and beginning May 20th which is Sunday am?

ending of the day. 0001 is the beginning of the next day

I would say midnight begins a new day. Like, when you go from 5:59 to 6:00, you begin a new hour. So when you go from 11:59 to 12:00, you should begin a new day. If that makes sense.

12:00 midnight always begins a day. 11:59:59 999/1000 p.m. always ends a day. 12:00 midnight would begin Sunday the 20th, and 11:59:59 999/1000 p.m. would end Saturday the 19th

It is considered the beginning of a new day, that is why they have 12:00 A.M. for midnight (middle of the night) and 12:00 P.M. for noon. When I set my digital clock to military time, it does not go to 2400 hrs it goes to 000 hrs after it hits 2359. So along those lines 12:00 A.M. would be the beginning of another day. That is why it is AM. 11:59:59 is the last second of the day.

It is easiest to remember that 12:00 refers to neither a.m. or p.m., but 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. is correct. Military time sets midnight at 2400 hours and 0001 as the first minute into the new day. Some write it as Midnight Saturday/Sunday, or Midnight June 14/15. The article in wikipedia says it shouldn't be used, but I always say 12:00 a.m. to refer to midnight, and 12:00 p.m. for noon, or the start of the afternoon hours.

I would have to say 12:00 midnight is the end of the day, 12:01am is the beginning of the next day. You guys need a hobby.

12 midnight is the start of the 19th, so 11:59 would be the last minute of the 18th

According to military time 12:00 midnight is 2400 hours, which is the end of the day. It is the end of 24 hours. 0001 hours, your 12:01 starts the new 24 hours. Does this help?

12:00 midnight is the ending of the day, as soon as 1 second passes it is the beginning of the next day. (12:00:01)

12 midnight is the beginning. I guess that is why on New Years we count down to Midnight not 12:01. Right?
