It is nice to
discuss English again and again. Now we will discuss about the day and night
time period.
There are 24 hours in a day. The day is divided into "day(time)" and "night(-time)". Daytime is from sunrise (this varies, but we can say approximately 6am) to sunset (we can say approximately 6pm). Night-time is from sunset to sunrise (Ada 24 jam dalam satu hari. Hari terbagi menjadi waktu siang dan malam. Waktu hari dimulai terbit matahari hingga terbenam matahari. Waktu malam dimulai terbenam matahari hingga terbit matahari) .

Waktu malam dimulai terbenam matahari hingga terbit matahari) .
Every day starts precisely at
midnight (Tiap hari dimulai tepatnya tengah malam). AM (Ante-Meridiem = before noon) starts just after midnight (Mulai persis setelah tengah malam).
PM (Post-Meridiem=after noon) starts just after noon (Mulai persis setelah siang). This means that
12am and 12pm have no meaning.
This diagram shows the cycle of
a 24-hour day and the words we use to describe its parts. The day starts at
midnight (at the bottom of the diagram).
