Does the phrase "0-dark-thirty" refer to a specific time, or just any time between midnight and sunrise?

Oh-dark thirty is a way of expressing an early morning hour, any hour.  Generally accepted as at or near sunrise and certainly before any of you get up.  tftp

World standard time, based on Greenwich Mean Time, recognizes local AM and PM notations. 12:00 noon is PM, 12:00 midnight is AM. \n\nIM is not a recognized standard of time, although the locals in Meridia may well use the term loosly if they're confused about what time it is.

GMT 0:00 is the first second of the day.\nAll countries times are eith + or - so many hours GMT.

It is indeed midnight - I've tested it.  I'm in PST (Pacific Standard Timezone), so I don't know it if's midnight here, or if it adjusts to wherever you live.

"Seven minutes past" is short for "Seven minutes past the hour" or seven minutes after the last "o'clock" e.g. it's 10:30, someone asks, "At what time did we come in?"  you say, "About seven minutes past."  means you came in about 10:07.

It's any time you want! All the time zones come together at both poles, so asking what time it is at the North Pole is like asking which way is north. \nLocal time at all other locations on the Earth's surface is based on the Sun's position relative to the celestial meridian, an imaginary line running north and south directly overhead. Noon is based on when the Sun crosses the local meridian, which also corresponds to its highest point in the sky on a given day. \nAt the North Pole, there is no north/south line that can define a meridian. Also, on any given day the Sun circles the sky at the same apparent altitude. There is no "highest position" to define noon. \nBy convention, I assume it would be convenient to select the prime meridian and its corresponding zulu time as the standard time at either pole.

It should read 9:30 PST, or Pacific Standard Time.  The contiguous US has four time zones.  Pacific time is the west coast time; California, Oregon, etc.  \nYou can use this site to determine the corresponding time where you are.... (use Los Angeles for PST)\n\nhttp://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

0000 means it starts the day at midnight which coincides with 2400 hrs. The followings numbers are 0001 which is 12:01 am,up to 1200 ( 12:00 Pm) after that it just keeps counting 1300 1400 1500 up to 2400, in military and other communications companies and organizations it lets you know if the time means morning or afternoon, or evening, 0600 is 6:00am and 1800 means 6:00 pm.  Its just a counting rule to separate the first 12 hours of the day into the second 12 hours of the day.\nIf this has not answered your question well enough write me back.\nGood Luck,\nBob

I see your problem\n\nWe conventionally call it 12pm, but I think I understand why you're asking the question: how can noon or 12 midday be "<post> meridien" if midday <is> the meridien?\n\nSure, it is "post meridien" as soon as the second hand passes the 12, but at the exact instant of midday it can be neither am nor pm.\n\nSimilarly, midnight is both exactly 12 hours after midday (post meridien) and 12 hours before midday (ante meridien)....

most of the time. Some people mean the daylight hours

01:01:42 PM\nhr:min:sec.\n\nTo distinguish between am and pm is if the hour number is larger than 12 it's pm. Just subtract the hour and you get the normal hour.\n\nIf it's smaller than 12 it's am

Some of the answers are close- It is anti meridian and post meridian, but it doesnt have to to with the Prime Meridian, otherwise we would all be on Greenwich Mean Time, which we obviously arent.  The meridian refered to is 12 O'Clock-this definition was made long before the establishment of the Prime Meridian. Thus its just the Latin for "Before 12" and "After 12".

That depends on where you are.  In the US, we'd write it as Friday, March 3, 2005, at 3:00 (am/pm).
