Who invented the 24-hour clock
The ancient Egyptians
The ancient Egyptians are seen as the originators of the 24-hour day. The New Kingdom, which lasted from 1550 to 1070 bce, saw the introduction of a time system using 24 stars, 12 of which were used to mark the passage of the night. Hours were of different length, however, as summer hours were longer than winter hours.
Why is it 1 o clock
The practice of saying "o'clock" is simply a remnant of simpler times when clocks weren't very prevalent and people told time by a variety of means, depending on where they were and what references were available.
Why do we say 1 o clock
It's a shortened form of the now obsolete phrase of the clock, from the Middle English of the clokke. You might also use it when you're describing a direction by referring to an imaginary clock: "I saw the deer run by right there, at twelve o'clock."
Is midnight 0 00 or 24 00
Midnight is called 24:00 and is used to mean the end of the day and 00:00 is used to mean the beginning of the day. For example, you would say "Tuesday at 24:00" and "Wednesday at 00:00" to mean exactly the same time.
Do people say 13 o clock
We only use 'o'clock' for precise hours. You can say 'eight o'clock' at 08:00 but not at 08:01. We only use 'o'clock' when we are telling time using the 12-hour clock so English speakers would never say '13 o'clock'.
Does 13 o clock exist
In English, in fact, the term "13 o'clock" is not used: in US military time, one would say "thirteen hundred hours" instead; in England, where most digital clocks are 24-hour, as are railway timetables, 13:00 is still conventionally referred to as "one", "one o'clock", "one o'clock pm", or "one pm".
Does 24 o’clock exist
Midnight is called 24:00 and is used to mean the end of the day and 00:00 is used to mean the beginning of the day. For example, you would say "Tuesday at 24:00" and "Wednesday at 00:00" to mean exactly the same time.
Why is a minute 60 seconds
The Greek astronomer Eratosthenes (who lived circa 276 to 194 B.C.) used a sexagesimal system to divide a circle into 60 parts in order to devise an early geographic system of latitude, with the horizontal lines running through well-known places on the earth at the time.
Why is an hour not 100 minutes
Who decided on these time divisions THE DIVISION of the hour into 60 minutes and of the minute into 60 seconds comes from the Babylonians who used a sexagesimal (counting in 60s) system for mathematics and astronomy. They derived their number system from the Sumerians who were using it as early as 3500 BC.

Is 1 o clock 13
(Only in the 12-hour clock) The start of the fourteenth hour of the day; 1:00 p.m. (13:00). The next train comes at one o'clock (= "The next train comes at 13:00"). We've got a bogey at one o'clock.
Can I say 13 o’clock
We only use 'o'clock' when we are telling time using the 12-hour clock so English speakers would never say '13 o'clock'.
What time is 0000h
Midnight (12:00 a.m.) — 0000 hrs.
Does 24 00 exist
A day has 24 hours and starts with the first second at 00:00:00. So the 24 hours are finished with the completion of the last second, which starts at 23:59:59. The time 24:00:00 does not exist in the 24-hour system nor in the 12-hour system. The next second is the first second of the next day and therefore 00:00:00.
How to pronounce 0001 hours
Speaking military time.
For example: 0001 (12:01am): “zero zero zero one” 0215 (2:15am): “zero two fifteen” 1545 (3:45pm): “fifteen forty-five”
What is the meaning of 0000 hours
12:00am
In 24-hour (military) time, 12:00am is equal to 0000 and is read as “0 hundred hours”.
Why is it 00 00 and not 24 00
12:00 can only be noon (midday). Midnight is called 24:00 and is used to mean the end of the day and 00:00 is used to mean the beginning of the day. For example, you would say "Tuesday at 24:00" and "Wednesday at 00:00" to mean exactly the same time.
Is 13 O clock Real or not

Why 12 hours in a day
The Egyptians used a 12-hour sundial to tell time during the daytime and a 12-hour water clock at night. The Romans also used a 12-hour clock. Early mechanical clocks showed all 24 hours, but over time, clockmakers found the 12-hour system simpler and cheaper.
Why isn’t an hour 100 minutes
Who decided on these time divisions THE DIVISION of the hour into 60 minutes and of the minute into 60 seconds comes from the Babylonians who used a sexagesimal (counting in 60s) system for mathematics and astronomy. They derived their number system from the Sumerians who were using it as early as 3500 BC.
Why is 24 hours long
The Egyptians also divided the dark hours into 12 sections based on the appearance in the night sky of 12 stars as the night advanced. So with 12 hours of daylight and 12 of night, the 24 hour day was established. In this system, an hour of daylight in the summer would be longer than one in the winter.
What if a minute was 100 seconds
However. If we wanted to continue with the metric theme and introduce a 10 hour day. So that's 10 hours made up of 100 minutes made up of 100 seconds.
