Difference between 24:00 and 00:00?

Question

What is the difference between 24:00 clock and 00:00 clock. IMO 24:00 clock is the day before and 00:00 clock is the beginning of the new day. But I\'m not really convinced

Answer 1

24:00 is a valid time and it is not quite the same as 00:00 - its a full 24 hours ahead of 00:00

00:00 on the 25th December is the start of Christmas Day.

24:00 on the 25th December is the END of Christmas Day. You could say that it is 00:00 on Boxing Day.

A Boxing Day Sale might start at 00:00 on Boxing Day - and it might end at 24:00 on Boxing Day. Far more convenient than saying 23:59:59.
