Understudies, many times not being acquainted with the way that one moment past 12 PM should record time as AM, rather than PM. It bodes well, less disarray, and is more exact in correspondence. At the point when it costs them something, it will change. And hence it was ultimately decided to settle on 60 after some extensive discussions and calculations by the mathematicians of the time.
As 60 easily breaks into 2 lots of 30, 3 lots of 20, 12 lots of 5, 4 lots of 15, 2 lots of 15 lots of 2, and so on. This was precisely the same reason for why degrees were chosen. There are around 70 countries all around the world that change their time by an hour twice in a year. All of the clocks within a country being turned one hour forward in spring. And setting the clock back by an exact one hour in autumn.
This is basically done to add an hour of daylight in spring and compensate for it in autumn when we already have long days. This extra hour of daylight could then be conveniently used by people to go out with their families as they will be getting free from their office and other official duties an hour ahead.
And will ultimately have the time to go on and do what they want to do while the sun is still up. This idea was first proposed by George Hudson from New Zealand, who initially proposed a 2-hour time shift in clocks so that he along with his friends would have more time to go for bug hunting in the summer. Ignore minutes 23 45 and subtract 12 from 23, the result is In military time the midnight usually is expressed as or But what about transforming the clock format time into a military time?
In this case, we should follow the same strategy with the only difference: instead of subtracting 12, we should add it. And, please note, we should add 12 ONLY if the suffix is p. In case, when the suffix is a. And when the suffix is a p. For example, p. So, the military time for p. Another important difference is a way to pronounce and to write the time in the military format.
In the hour clock format, we use a colon to separate minutes from hours and it looks like , , and so on. Therefore, it looks like , … And for hours from 1 to 9 we need a leading zero in front, so it looks like , , etc.
Also, these small differences in writing are followed with a distinct way to read the time. But what about the leading zero? It is quite easy as well. From what we can see, the military time or hour clock format is more precise and helps to avoid any misinterpretation.
Who at least once hasn't mistaken a. Because of the convenience of interpreting the time, the military format is very common around the world and widely used in a lot of industries, especially the ones that require it to be very precise. First of all, it is used in the military to refer to the time and when certain events are taking place. Even in the regions that commonly use the hour clock format, the nurses and healthcare establishments will go for hour clock format as well.
The reason for that is the precision that it gives to avoid any possible mistakes. It also helps nurses to know when to give the prescribed medicine to each patient and to keep track of all administered treatments 2. In the same way, police are required to use the hour format clock for the documents, too. Furthermore, the airports also use this format for the same reasons. But to minimize possible misinterpretation even more, they would avoid scheduling flights at midnight p.
Is more common for the flights to be scheduled for or even which helps to clarify on which day the flight is. Coordinated Universal Time is based on military time and uses hour time notation. So this makes a military time universal around the world. The majority of Europeans use military time because of its convenience. Many countries from Latin America also decided to adopt this system.
However, there are some countries that use both formats. Such as a majority of English speaking countries. In this case, the citizens of these countries will use the format they prefer, but official establishments such as police or healthcare are required to use the hour format for all documentation and appointments. Nowadays, military time is used all over the world.
The only difference is that the United States uses an original military time when the rest of the countries will use a standard hour clock format, separating hours from minutes with a colon and sometimes skipping the leading zero. There are twenty-five military time zones. The names are taken from the NATO phonetic alphabet which is commonly used in military and other authorities. The rest of the abbreviations and the time zones that they represent are shown in the chart below 3 :.
As you can see from the chart shown before, Z-time corresponds to the time on the prime meridian usually mentioned as Greenwich. Nowadays military time is used mainly to avoid any possibility of misinterpretation time and mistaking a. All official authorities and especially spheres that require collaboration and communication with different countries from distinct time zones will use the hour clock system. But in reality, this format had appeared a long time before these institutions even existed.
Military time is used because it avoids the confusion between A. We are all guilty of accidentally setting our alarm for P. Instead of A. With military time, we have no confusion because the numbers never repeat themselves. Military time is most commonly used by the military, government, public transportation, hospitals, meteorologists, astronomers, those employed in emergency services, and many other civilians.
The hour clock is primarily used in the non-english speaking countries in Europe, Lation America, Asia and Africa. Most English speaking countries expect The United States usually switches back and forth between hour and hour time because neither have been established as the standard. Although the 24 hour clock is well established, the world and communication is constantly changing and who knows what the changing global community will need next. As we discussed, the day starts at midnight and is written as The last minute of the day is written as , or one minute before the next midnight.
Midnight can also be written as either or A usage example showing the 12 hour clock vs military time would be a time table showing pm to midnight. This would be written as —
