I would explain it this way:
There excists 24 hours per day. These hours are lined up in a particular (timelined) order. Put yourself at the 12 p.m. timeline position and forget your position. You will ask:
Kiom~a horo estas?
The hour in the middle of the day is the 12~th hour of the day.
(Like Mutusen mentioned before)
@everybody: Is that correct?

I think "Manyeth" should be made a word in Mutusen's honour for such great creativity. I'm seriously surprised that I could not find it in the dictionary, it seems like an actual word!
EDIT: Oh wait, it does exist colloquially. Mostly in the English of non-native speakers. But still, that is a cool sounding word, and surprising that "-th" was used in a word virtually coined by non-natives who normally dislike "-th"...

Why the a on kiom? - Kioma horo estasKiom is an adverb ; adverb can not qualify a
noun (horo).
Adjective (kioma) can qualify a noun ;
then :
kioma horo estas ?
Kioma is the qualifier of horo.
