What is the difference between eastern standard time and ET?

Answer 1

No.

EDT = Eastern Daylight Time

EST = Eastern Standard Time

Use EDT when daylight savings time is in effect (after clocks "spring forward" one hour), and use EST when it is not.

The best way to avoid confusion is to just say ET, or Eastern Time.

Answer 2

EST is "Eastern Standard Time", while ET is "Eastern Time". ET is generally understood to mean the time currently being observed, whether it's EST or DST (Daylight Saving Time).

Unless you are talking about space exploration, where ET means "extra terrestrial", and EST stands for "extra sentient terrestrial"

Answer 3

In North America, Eastern Standard Time (EST) is equal to UTC - 5 hours. It is the time zone used all year in Panama, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Haiti, and parts of Canada. The Bahamas, the Turks & Caicos Islands, and parts of the United States and Canada use Eastern Standard Time from early November until mid-March and Eastern Daylight Saving Time (EDT; UTC - 4 hours) during the other two thirds of the year. In places that alternate between EST and EDT, ET (Eastern Time) is often used to refer to either EST or EDT, whichever is in effect at the time.

Answer 4

North American Eastern Standard Time (EST) = UTC - 5 hours

Australian Eastern Standard Time (EST or AEST) = UTC + 10 hours

Answer 5

Answer 6
