Default 12 AM and 12 PM which is during the day and which is during night?

What time is it?

I think the 24-hour clock makes more sense because then I know that 12:00 is in the middle of day time (in many parts of the world) and 24:00 is in the middle of the night (in most parts of the world).

I tried looking up "the answer" and just got myself more confused.

Local Solar Time is when the sun is highest overhead at a given spot.

I wonder if there would be any way to synchonize the clocks so that when someone says something happened at 3:15 AM in Moscow, the clock in Nebraska would also say 3:15 am.

Does everyone in the world count time in 24 hour segments?
