What is the difference between the eastern time zone and the pacific time zone?

Answer 1

Pacific Time is 3 hours behind Eastern Time. Eastern Time is 3 hours ahead of Pacific Time.

The mainland U.S. has four time zones (Alaska and Hawaii each have their own time zones, which makes a total of 6 different time zones for the U.S.).

From west to east, the mainland U.S.'s time zones are: Pacific Time, Mountain Time, Central Time and Eastern Time. Each is one hour later than the last. For example, if it's 3 PM Pacific Time, then it's 4 PM Mountain Time, 5 PM Central Time and 6 PM Eastern Time.

Answer 2

PDT = EST - 2 hrs. = EDT - 3 hrs.

PST = EST - 3 hrs. = EDT - 4 hrs.

PST = Pacific Standard Time (UTC - 8 hrs.)

PDT = Pacific Daylight Saving Time (UTC - 7 hrs.)

EST = Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5 hrs.)

EDT = Eastern Daylight Saving Time (UTC - 4 hrs.)

Answer 3

The main difference between Eastern Time Zone and Pacific Time Zone is their time offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Eastern Time is UTC-5 hours, while Pacific Time is UTC-8 hours. This means that Eastern Time is 3 hours ahead of Pacific Time.

Answer 4

4 hours.

3 hours: eastern time, central time, mountain time and pacific time.

Answer 5

Pacific Time plus 3 hours is Eastern.
