Question: 12.30 am is morning or night?
Answer: 12:30 a.m. is in the first period which begins at midnight (technically 12:00 a.m.) and the 12:30 p.m. is just after noon (which technically is 12 p.m.). To avoid confusion, many people do not use 12 a.m or 12 p.m. and prefer to use midnight and noon. Afternoon begins at noon and runs until evening.
