What time does 0500 convert to in standard time?

The time 0500 in military time denotes five hours after midnight. In the 24-hour clock system used by the military, the first two digits represent the hour, and the last two digits indicate the minutes. Therefore, 0500 translates directly to 5:00 AM in standard time. This approach to time conversion is standard practice, as military time runs from 0000 to 2359, covering the full 24-hour period without the need for AM or PM designations.
