What is 9:30pm in military time?

Military time is used to describe a 24-hour clock that runs from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 with the day beginning at 00:00 in the morning and ending at 23:59. Military time is a way of expressing time using the 24-hour clock instead of the 12-hour clock used in everyday life. This type of timing is also used by many institutions and organizations, especially when communicating specific events or activities that have strict timelines. As such, it has gained widespread acceptance in certain industries, such as aviation and many parts of the military.

When reading the time on a 24-hour clock, the first two digits represent the hour, while the last two digits represent minutes. For example, 9:30 PM (or 2130 for military time) would be expressed as either 2130 or 21:30. So, 9:30 PM in military time would be written as 2130 or 21:30.

It is important to note that military time does not use any particular letter indicators or names to denote whether it is morning or evening; it only states a precise point in a given day which can be easily understood by anyone familiar with military time, irrespective of any regional notion about what constitutes day and night.

During daylight savings times, all clocks are shifted one hour forward from "standard" local times, making 9 PM standard local time become 8 PM daylight saving time (DST). However, even after daylight savings ends and clocks "fall back" an hour during fall times, 9 PM is still 9 PM (or 21:00/2100) when using military time—which remains unaffected by such changes.
