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

Answer 3

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time zone based on the prime meridian at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. American time refers to the various time zones across the United States, such as Eastern Standard Time, Central Standard Time, Mountain Standard Time, and Pacific Standard Time. The main difference is that GMT does not have daylight saving time changes, while American time zones do observe daylight saving time.
