Read it again:



Post meridian or PM is all about solar noon:



Solar noon is the exact moment the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky for a specific location,
occurring midway between sunrise and sunset.
At this instant, the Sun crosses your local north-south meridian, and any shadows cast point directly due north or due south.
Because of the Earth's tilted axis and elliptical orbit, clock noon (12:00 PM) rarely aligns perfectly with solar noon.

Depending on the time of year and your specific longitude, solar noon can occur before or after clock noon by up to 15–30 minutes.Tracking the Sun in VictoriaFor residents in Victoria, Australia, the exact time of solar noon depends on the specific date and whether Daylight Saving Time is active.

During the winter months (Standard Time), solar noon typically occurs close to 12:30 PM to 12:45 PM depending on where you are in the state. During the summer, Daylight Saving Time shifts clocks forward, pushing solar noon closer to 1:30 PM to 1:45 PM.

Well, you obviously need to know about logic.
Now can you tell us how 12 hours after the meridiem is the meridiem?

Dear Marla,

were you cheated and mistreated?

First of all my name is sir Bobby.

Second - everyone knows who Christian Huygens was.

Third - you never answer my questions.

He was an astronomer amongst many other things:

Christiaan Huygens,[a] Lord of Zeelhem (14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695) was a Dutch mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor who is regarded as a key figure in the Scientific Revolution.[4][5] In physics, Huygens made seminal contributions to optics and mechanics, while as an astronomer he studied the rings of Saturn and discovered its largest moon, Titan. As an engineer and inventor, he improved the design of telescopes and invented the pendulum clock, the most accurate timekeeper for almost 300 years. A talented mathematician and physicist, Huygens authored the first modern treatise where a physical problem was idealized using mathematical parameters, while his work on light contains the first mathematical and mechanistic explanation of an unobservable physical phenomenon.

"post meridiem /mə-rĭd′ē-əm/
adverb

    After noon, in the afternoon. Between noon and midnight. "

Noon is 12AM. Unless of cousre you mean noon is midnight.

Noon is not 12:00am, am is ante meridiem, i.e. 12:00 am is 12 hours before noon therefore it is midnight.
Something cannot be before itself.
