Many countries prefer the 24-hour clock for official and public use because it removes ambiguity between AM and PM. However, everyday conversation in several regions still relies heavily on the 12-hour clock system.
The 24-hour clock system dates back to ancient Egyptian astronomy, where the day was divided into 24 equal parts. Over centuries, this system became widely adopted for transportation, military, and scientific purposes because of its clarity and precision. The 12-hour AM/PM system, on the other hand, became popular for casual daily use. This converter bridges the gap between these two long-standing conventions.
