</p><p>In traditional astronomical usage, civil time was <a href="Mean_solar_time" class="mw-redirect" title="Mean solar time">mean solar time</a> reckoned from <a href="Midnight" title="Midnight">midnight</a>. Before 1925, the astronomical time 00:00:00 meant noon, twelve hours after the civil time 00:00:00 which meant midnight. <a href="HM_Nautical_Almanac_Office" title="HM Nautical Almanac Office">HM Nautical Almanac Office</a> in the <a href="United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> used <a href="Greenwich_Mean_Time" title="Greenwich Mean Time">Greenwich Mean Time</a> (GMT) for both conventions, leading to ambiguity, whereas the Nautical Almanac Office at the <a href="United_States_Naval_Observatory" title="United States Naval Observatory">United States Naval Observatory</a> used GMT for the pre-1925 convention and Greenwich Civil Time (GCT) for the post-1924 convention until 1952.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>The division of the day into times of day has existed since the beginning of the calendar.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Twelve_hours:_Babylonian_and_Roman_division_of_the_day">Twelve hours: Babylonian and Roman division of the day</h3></div>
<p>People in <a href="Classical_antiquity" title="Classical antiquity">Antiquity</a> divided the day into twelve <a href="Hour" title="Hour">hours</a>, but these were reckoned from sunrise rather than midnight. <a href="Babylonian_hour" class="mw-redirect" title="Babylonian hour">Babylonian hours</a> were of equal length, while Roman <a href="Unequal_hours" title="Unequal hours">temporal hours</a> varied depending on the season.
</p><p>The <a href="Horae" title="Horae">Horae</a>, literally "the hours," were the original Greek goddesses who oversaw regulated life. They were the patron goddesses of the various times of day. In Greek tradition, the twelve hours were counted from just before sunrise to just after sunset.
</p><p>Roman daytimes were called <i>hora</i> (hours), with the morning hour as <i>hora prima</i>. The night was divided into four sections called <i>vigilia</i> (night watch), two before midnight and two after.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Romans originally counted the morning hours backwards: "3 a. m." or "3 hours ante meridiem" meant "three hours before noon", in contrast to the modern meaning "three hours after midnight".
</p><p>This ancient division has survived in the <a href="Liturgy_of_the_Hours" title="Liturgy of the Hours">Liturgy of the Hours</a>: <a href="Prime_(liturgy)" title="Prime (liturgy)">Prime</a>, <a href="Terce" title="Terce">Terce</a>, <a href="Sext" title="Sext">Sext</a>, and <a href="Nones_(liturgy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Nones (liturgy)">Nones</a> are named after the first, third, sixth and ninth hours of the day. The <a href="Matins" title="Matins">Matins</a>, the nocturnal prayer is, according to the <a href="Rule_of_Saint_Benedict" title="Rule of Saint Benedict">Rule of Saint Benedict</a>, to be prayed at the "eighth hour of the night", which corresponds to about 2 am.
</p><p>The <a href="Spanish_language" title="Spanish language">Spanish</a> <a href="Siesta" title="Siesta">siesta</a> derives its name from the Latin <i>hora sexta</i> for the sixth hour (noon).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Middle_East">Middle East</h3></div>
<p>In <a href="Semitic_languages" title="Semitic languages">Semitic language</a> cultures, the day traditionally begins at nightfall. This is still important today for the beginning of <a href="Shabbat" title="Shabbat">Shabbat</a> and <a href="Islamic_holiday" class="mw-redirect" title="Islamic holiday">Islamic holidays</a>.
</p><p>A division of days has survived from Persian, following the Babylonian beginning of the day: The rōsgār (times of day) are hāwan (morning), uapihwin (afternoon), usērin (evening), ēbsrūsrim (sunset to midnight), and ushahin (midnight to dawn). The last two are collectively called shab (night).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Middle_Ages_and_early_modern_times">Middle Ages and early modern times</h3></div>
<p>The modern division of the day into twenty-four hours of equal length (<i>Italian hours</i>) first appeared in the 14th century with the invention of the mechanical wheel clock and its widespread use in <a href="Turret_clock" title="Turret clock">turret clocks</a>.
</p><p>With the onset of <a href="Industrialization" class="mw-redirect" title="Industrialization">industrialization</a>, working hours became tied to the clock rather than to daylight.<sup id="cite_ref-Andrej/BlM_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Andrej/BlM-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
