Does "morning" begin at 1am or 5am?

What time is “evening?”

Technically it is at any time, since it will always be morning somewhere in the world.

My guess is it would start at 12:01am until 11:59am. there is early morning, mid morning, late morning.

Neither. It begins when midnight has just struck, or when the sun rises, or (in my case) whenever I get up, which might be afternoon by my neighbor’s clock.

@Rangie Considering 12am is called mid-night, I’m guessing there some more of the night left over after 12am. Starting off the morning at 12:01am seems to be intruding a bit on the night, no?

If the night starts at 10pm, say, then “mid” kinda implies that the night extends up to 2am? Maybe?...

1 a.m it’s a night…Bcoz, we already slept at 1 a.m.

5 a.m you can say,it’s a dawn ..&

When sunrises you use the word Morning

When sun goes top of our head then you can say it’s Afternoon.

When it goes to west then you can say, it’s Evening.

When it sets you can say it’s Night.

I thought AM and PM clarified this issue a long time ago?

@zaphod now that presents a problem. we have night and morning at the sametime. Let’s see, how about night is from sunset to sunrise, because night indicates darkness. Now, morning would be at sunrise until noon.
WAIT. we are talking apples an oranges, aren’t we. there is Day and Night period. Then there is morning, noon and evening. I think morning would have to start at sunrise.

no no, @Rangie hit it on point. Officially, morning begins as soon as the instant of 12:00 a.m. is over and it becomes like 12:00 and 1 milisecond(or whatever)a.m. and ends as soon as 11:59 a.m. is over. All other things are subjective and depend on how you are accustomed to calling it. @zaphod does make a good point though, calling it mid-night doesnt make sense

oh jeepers, it is night because it is dark, but it is morning because it is after 12 am. I think I had better go to bed before day time starts. Night everybody, I hope you figure it out. lol

Morning starts when my alarm clock goes off at 05.00 for me at least, technically I’m already five hours into the day, I’d say morning becomes official at day break when the darkness of the early morning becomes brighter when dawn rises & the birds begin to sing in my garden….. ;-)

It begins at 11am on my day off.

12:00 am

Morning is before noon. It can begin at midnight, on waking, or at sunrise. Afternoon is after noon. It can end at midnight, at sunset, or at the end of a workday. Evening follows afternoon, and night follows evening. Night begins at sunset or when sleep begins. Alternately, morning can be confined to breakfast time, afternoon to dinner time, and the rest be day and night.

I would say it starts at 12am and ends at 12pm, when the afternoon arrives.

A related question would be, “When a speed limit sign says 65 and under it is says ‘55 Night’, when does it stop being ‘night?’ At midnight? 6am? When it’s light out? How light?”

I’d say that it begins at sunrise.

The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, states:

To avoid confusion, the correct designation for twelve o’clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante-meridiem (before the Sun has crossed the line) and p.m. for post-meridiem (after the Sun has crossed the line). At 12 noon the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither “ante-” nor “post-”.[8]

And what @matty82 said.

but sociologically, I feel like morning “begins” at 5 am. I’ve always been surprised by the strong difference that 4:59 am (feels like late late nite) vs. 5:01 am (feels like early early morning) has to me.

Morning doesn’t begin until I wake up.

for me, more like 11:30

Actually, 6am is the general point for morning, however it’s officially when the sun rises. Afternoon is self explanatory. 6pm is generally evening. Dusk is just before nightfall, therefore the time after until sunrise is night. Midnight refers to the midpoint of the evening hours ranging 6pm-6am. Midmorning is noon, the middle of 6am-6pm. The beginning of a new day does not make it the morning.
