What is the 24hr clock?
Acording to Simple Wikipedia( my source) a 24-hour clock is a way of telling the time in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours, numbered from 0 to 24. It does not use a.m. or p.m. ... A time in the 24-hour clock is written in the form hours:minutes (for example, 01:23), or hours:minutes:seconds (01:23:45).

Time changes if you go to one hemisphere to another hemisphere and when you cross over the equator.
