Counting down to 12:00 AM in your time zone.
That’s 12 hours and 0 minutes until Friday, January 2 begins.
Quick answers to the usual questions. Every picture below runs off the live clock above.
Right now: 12 hours and 0 minutes in your time zone. Here’s the whole day as 24 blocks.
One block is one hour. Grey is behind you, green is still ahead, and the partly filled block is the hour you’re in.
It’s 12 AM. “AM” covers everything before noon, and the day’s very first minute is 12:00 AM. A handy trick: lunch is 12 PM, sleep is 12 AM.
50% of the day has already slipped by. A handy yardstick: every 1% is 14 min 24 s, so a quarter of the day is exactly 6 hours.
Midnight is the single instant where one date ends and the next begins. Watch out for “midnight on Thursday”: some people mean the start of that day, others the end. Writing 11:59 PM Thursday or 12:00 AM Friday settles it.
Midnight doesn’t arrive everywhere at once. Tap a row to point the clock at the top at that zone. Rows are sorted by whose midnight comes first.
Deadlines often forget to name a zone. If you can’t find out which one is meant, plan for whichever midnight arrives first.
