What is 5 to 6 as a digital time?

'Five to Six' ??? There are two points in the day , when this time is recorded.

In the morning it is 5:55 am , that is it is five minutes to six o'clock.

Similarly in the evening it is 5:55 pm that is it is five minutes to six o'clock.

'am/pm' are the initials of the Latin phrase ' ante/post meridian ' meaning ' before/after noon'.

'Six o' clock' is a corruption of the English language for 'six hours of the clock'.

Originally, analogue clocks were made to show only 12 hours at a time.

On an analogue clock 'six o'clock' would have the large finger/hand pointing to '12'. and the small finger/hand pointing to '6'.

At 'five to six', the large finger/hand would point to '11' meaning that there are 5 minutes to the 'hour(12) of the 'clock'. The small finger/hand would point almost to '6'.

On the analogue clock , between each number , there are five small divisions, that indicate minutes. There are 60 of these divisions in one full dial of the clock-face. The numbers refer to the hour of time. The numbers can be in Arabic(modern), Roman or Symbol form.
