So Good morning from 12 AM to 11.59 AM & Good afternoon from 12 PM to 3.59 PM & Good evening from 4 PM to 11.59 PM. There is no separate category for the time after 11 AM but before noon.

What is meant by 12 noon?

‘Noon’ means ‘midday’ or 12 o’clock during the day. ‘Midnight’ refers to 12 o’clock (or 0:00) during the night. To avoid any confusion, 12 o’clock should be written as 12 noon or 12 midnight instead. Alternatively, you could use the 24-hour clock system, where 12:00 is noon and 00:00 (or 24:00) is midnight.

Can we say in the night?
