Who Uses the 24 Hour Clock

24 hour clock time is normally used in the military, transport, in computers, in public safety, among many other areas. In many European, Asian, and Latin American countries, most people normally use the 24 hour clock to write time. Many Italian, French, Romanian and German people use the 24 hour clock when speaking. The 24 hour clock system is also commonly used in many timetables.

Benefits of the 24 Hour Clock System Over the 12 Hour Clock System

• It has less confusion between evening and morning; for instance, 7 o’clock is indicated by 19:00 to mean evening.
• You don’t have to try figuring out if noon time is 12 p.m or 12 a.m.
• It’s easier to calculate the duration. (for example, from 11:40 a.m to 6:40 p.m is 7 hours, but 11:40 to 18:40 indicates the 7-hour difference much better).
