1 pm is of course expressed as 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The dark hours after 12 midnight can colloquially be referred to as either morning or night. It is considered morning because it is ante meridian (a.m.), but can be considered night because the sun isn't up.

Technically, it is correct only to call it 12:00 noon. Summarizing what others have written, the half-way point of the day, known as the meridian, is 12 o'clock noon.

The day is divided into two periods: a.m. (from Latin ante meridiem, meaning, before midday) and p.m. (from Latin post meridiem, meaning, past midday). 12:30 a.m. is in the first period which begins at midnight (technically 12:00 a.m.) and the 12:30 p.m. is just after noon (which technically is 12 p.m.).

If using capital letters, “AM” or “PM”, periods are not necessary. Noon – When using the time of noon for your event, use any of the following: “12 o'clock”, “12:00 PM”, “12:00 p.m.” or “noon”. “12 o'clock noon” or “12 noon” should not be used as these phrases are redundant.

So 11:00 am is 1 hour before noon, and 3:00 pm is 3 hours after noon, making 4 hours in all between them. It is much better and leads to less confusion to use a 24 hour clock, where 11:00 am is 11:00 and 3:00 pm is 15:00, making the difference of 4 hours much more obvious.

12.30 pm simply after noon. 12.30 am is simply after middle of the night. This makes experience, due to the fact the first could be very early 'afternoon' while the second may be very early morning. While we do tend to consult midday as 12pm and middle of the night as 12am, strictly talking this is illogical.
