🕒 What is A.M. and P.M.?
A day has 24 hours.
We divide the day into two parts:
- A.M. (morning time)
- P.M. (afternoon, evening, night)
🌅 A.M. (Morning Time)
A.M. means before noon (12:00).
It is the time from midnight (12:00 A.M.) to noon (12:00 P.M.).
This is when we usually:
- Wake up 🛏️
- Get ready for school 🎒

👉 Example:
- 7:00 A.M. → Time to wake up

🌇 P.M. (Afternoon & Night Time)
P.M. means after noon (12:00).
It is the time from 12:00 P.M. to midnight (12:00 A.M.).
