What it means
Noon is the point marked 12:00 during the day. It comes after 11:59 in the morning and before 12:01 in the afternoon.
Remember it
Noon is the daytime twelve.
Example
Lunch starts at noon and lasts 35 minutes. Noon is 12:00, so lunch ends at 12:35.
Watch for
Noon and midnight can both be called twelve o’clock in 12-hour speech, but noon is during the day and midnight changes the date.
Common mix-up
For a clear schedule, write “noon” or 12:00, not 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.
Exact meaning
Noon is 12 o’clock in the daytime. In 24-hour notation it is 12:00. Writing “noon” avoids the ambiguity of writing 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.
