Answer: A.M. is Latin and it stands for Ante Meridiem, which means 'before the sun reaches its zenith in the sky-12:00 noon. P.M. stands for Post Meridiem, which is 'after the sun has reached its zenith. Hope this helps.

Whenever it is 2:30 PM in England, the time in Sweden is 3:30 PM. However, when the time in England is UTC + 1 hour, they don't call it Central European Time; they call it British Summer Time. 2:30 PM GMT in England = 3:30 PM CET in Sweden, and 2:30 PM BST in England = 3:30 PM CEST in Sweden.

When it is 6 PM Eastern time (New York is in the Eastern time zone), it is 2 PM in the Mountain Time Zone. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone, but Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving's Time, so during Daylight Savings (it begins the second Sunday of March), you would call at 3 PM, but after Daylight Savings ends (the first Sunday of November) you would call at 2 PM.
