What is the difference between GMT and American time?

Answer 1

This question should be " What is the difference between military time and civilian time?" There is no "American time" . The answer is simple. Civilian time works on a 12 hour clock, utilizing the postfixes: am and pm. Military time does not use these postfixes because it is based on a 24 hour clock. It starts at 0000 (or zero hundred hours) and runs to 2400(or twenty-four hundred hours). The first two digits are the hour and the second two digits are the minutes.

Answer 2

GMT is:

4 hours ahead of Atlantic Standard Time (PR**, USVI**)

5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, DC, VA, WV. NC, SC, GA, OH, MI*, IN*, KY*, TN* FL*)

6 hours ahead of Central Standard Time (MI*, IN*, KY*, TN*, FL*, WI, IL, AL, MS, LA, AR, MO, IA, MN, OK, ND*, SD*, NE*, KS*, TX*)

7 hours ahead of Mountain Standard Time (ND*, SD*, NE*, KS*, TX*, MT, WY, CO, NM, AZ**, UT, ID*, OR*)

8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (WA, OR*, CA, NV, ID*)

9 hours ahead of Alaska Standard Time (AK)

10 hours ahead of Aleutian/Hawaii Time (AK, HI"", Guam**)

11 Hours ahead of American Samoa (American Samoa**)

Subtract 1 from the numbers above for Daylight Saving Time (DST)

*State straddles two time zones

** all or most of this state/territory does not observe DST
