What's the difference between them?




昼（ひる）means midday or daytime. 午前（ごぜん）means AM and 午後（ごご）means PM or,
colloquially, afternoon (as in English). 正午（しょうご） means exactly noon. News and
government documents use stricter guidelines. [Here is a chart from the
Japanese Meteorological
Agency](https://www.jma.go.jp/jma/kishou/know/yougo_hp/saibun.html).
