How is 2400 hours represented in standard time?

The representation of 2400 hours in standard time is actually referred to as midnight, which is correctly indicated as 12AM. In military time, 2400 hours marks the end of the day, transitioning into the next day, which starts at 0000 hours or midnight. Therefore, when converting from military time to standard time, 2400 hours is identified as 12AM, marking the start of a new day.

Additionally, while 12PM refers to noon and signifies the middle of the day, and 11PM is just an hour before midnight, these times do not correspond to 2400 hours. Similarly, 1PM is still in the afternoon, well before midnight. Understanding the transition from military time to standard time helps clarify why 2400 hours is specifically interpreted as 12AM.
