Military time, also known as the 24-hour clock, is a timekeeping system used by the military and emergency services to avoid confusion between morning and afternoon hours. In this system, the day is divided into 24 hours, starting at midnight (0000 hours) and ending at 23:59 hours. Military time uses a four-digit format without a colon between the hours and minutes, making it easy to read and understand.
Converting minutes and hours in military time is simple once you understand the system. Each hour is divided into 60 minutes, just like the standard time format. To convert standard time to military time, you need to add or subtract 12 hours from the given time, depending on whether it is in the morning or afternoon. For example, 1:30 PM in standard time would be 1330 hours in military time.
