what is 10:30 pm in military time?

10:30 pm in military time is referred to as 2230 hours. The military time is based on a 24-hour clock system and the day begins at 0000 hours and ends at 2400 hours. Therefore, 10:30 pm in the civilian standard time is equivalent to 2230 hours in military time.

Military time simplifies communication and helps to avoid confusion between "a.m" and "p.m" by using a 24-hour clock format. This system divides the day into two parts with 12-hours increments starting from midnight (0000) up until 24:00 (midnight). The hours omitted after midnight are labeled with an "oh" (from 12 - 23) or a "double oh" (for 0 hours).

Unlike the two 12-hour cycles used in the standard time notation, a decimal point separates military time from 1900 – 2400 hour range marker which is mostly used for aviation navigation or aircraft schedules. This way, pilots are able to quickly understand which flight should be taken when looking at charts that show flight routes divided by decimal points like 2110 or 2345 point labels.

Therefore, when converting from civilian standard to military time 10:30 pm becomes 2230 hours and 12:00 am will be converted to 0000 hours, following the 24-hour pattern of the military clock system of communication
