German (Gallic) hours (half-dial): 2×12 hour system starting at midnight and restarted at noon. It is typical with the 12-hour dial with 12 at the top. The modern 24-hour system is a late-19th century adaptation of the German midnight-starting system, and then prevailed in the world with the exception of some Anglophone countries.
The 12-hour clock is a time convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods: a.m. (from Latin ante meridiem, translating to "before midday") and p.m. (from Latin post meridiem, translating to "after midday"). [1] [2] Each period consists of 12 hours numbered: 12 (acting as 0), [3] 1, 2, 3, 4
The angle is typically measured in degrees from the mark of number 12 clockwise. The time is usually based on a 12-hour clock. A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute.
In Czech quarters and halves always refer to the following hour, e.g. čtvrt na osm (quarter on eight) meaning 7:15, půl osmé (half of eight) meaning 7:30 and tři čtvrtě na osm (three-quarters on eight) meaning 7:45. This corresponds to the time between 7:00 and 8:00 being the eighth hour of the day (the first hour starting at midnight).
kè has been defined as 1 ⁄ 96 of a day since 1628, so the modern kè equals 15 minutes and each double hour contains exactly 8 kè. [2] Since then, kè has been used as shorthand to talk about time in 1 ⁄ 8 of a double hour or 1 ⁄ 4 of a single hour. Their usage is similar to using "quarter hour" for 15 minutes or "half an hour" for 30 ...
Date and time notation in Italy records the date using the day–month–year format (7 febbraio 2025 or 7/2/2025). The time is written using the 24-hour clock (19:11); in spoken language and informal contexts, the 12-hour clock is more commonly adopted, but without using "a.m." or "p.m." suffixes (7:11).
The time of day is typically expressed in English in terms of hours. Whole hours on a 12-hour clock are expressed using the contracted phrase o'clock, from the older of the clock. [6] (10 am and 10 pm are both read as "ten o'clock".) Hours on a 24-hour clock ("military time") are expressed as "hundred" or "hundred hours".
