What is midnight?

Midnight is when the day ends and the night begins, right at the very middle of the night.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy car on a long track that goes around the room. You start at a certain spot, drive all the way around, and come back to where you started. That whole trip is like a full day. Now, imagine you stop exactly halfway through, that's midnight, when it feels like both the day and night are sharing the track equally.

Think of a clock on your bedroom wall. It has numbers from 1 to 12 all around it. When the big hand and little hand both point at the number 12, that’s midnight, like the start of a brand new day, but also like the middle of the night when everything is quiet and still.

Most people are tucked into bed by midnight, ready to dream. It's like when you finish your last cookie before going to sleep, it feels like the perfect time to rest up for tomorrow’s adventures. Midnight is when the day ends and the night begins, right at the very middle of the night.
