What is 4PST in EST? ›

So, if it's Noon in the West, its 2 p.m. in the East, and the calendar date is the same in all three island groups. This was a sensible arrangement for Kiribati, given the circ*mstances, but it did create the oddity of plus 13 and plus 14 hour time zones, making a world total of 26 hourly time zones, instead of 24.

Time zones and time differences

There are 24 regions (Time Zones) around the world with a time difference of one hour. This system has been adopted internationally by setting the total time difference around the world as 24 hours. Further, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is individually adopted in countries and regions.

Eastern Standard Time (EST), when observing standard time (autumn/winter), are five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−05:00). Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), when observing daylight saving time (spring/summer), are four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−04:00).

Is Pacific time 3 hours behind Eastern time? Yes, Pacific Standard Time (PST) is three hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST). Each time zone in the US moving west from EST moves back by one hour; 4pm EST is 3pm CST, 2pm MST, and 1pm PST.

UTC+13:00 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of +13:00. Because it does not contain any land in the Northern Hemisphere, this time zone is exclusive to the Southern Hemisphere.

No country “uses” UTC, but every country's time is based on UTC. Today, there are 37 time zones in use, and they often don't match up with their actual lines of longitude, but follow national and international borders.

“Why do some countries use time zones off set by 30 minutes instead of an hour?” you ask… because it seems more important to them to align with solar time than to have a simple integral-hour-based conversion to most other time zones. Examples are: Afghanistan.

None of the 50 US states have three time zones. However, there are some states with two time zones. These are: Alaska (Alaska and Hawaii-Aleutian)

How many time zones does Russia have? ›

Russia has an astonishing 11 time zones stretching across its borders. The closest to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is Kaliningrad time in the Kaliningrad Oblast, at GMT +2 hours, while the furthest is Kamchatka time in the far east, at GMT +5 hours.

China has one time zone. It is officially called China Standard Time (CST). It is 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+08:00).

No country, or part of a country, is 24 hours ahead of any part of the contiguous 48 states of the U.S. However, there are places that are 24 hours ahead of American Samoa (UTC-11) and Hawaii (UTC-10). Places that are 24 hours ahead of American Samoa are…

That has largely to do with the politics in each of those places. For example, in New Delhi, India, they found themselves halfway between two meridians, and therefore decided to be 30 minutes between each, as opposed to adopting one time or the other.

You can see that the most extreme time zones are +14 hours at Line Islands (Kiribati), and -12 hours in and around Baker Islands (US). Therefore, the maximum possible difference between times on Earth is 26 hours. That means that at 11:00 PM of a Monday in Baker Island, it is 1:00 AM of a Wednesday in Line Islands.

Eastern Standard Time (EST) is a standard time zone in use from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March—when Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not in effect. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is used during the remainder of the year.

PST stands for Pacific Standard Time. GMT is known as Greenwich Mean Time. GMT is 7 hours ahead of PST. So, when it is. 12:00 am PST.
