Question 1

How do I convert Pacific Time to Eastern Time?

Accepted Answer

Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 3 hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST). To convert PST to EST, add 3 hours. For example, 9:00 AM PST becomes 12:00 PM (noon) EST. During Daylight Saving Time, Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is also 3 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Question 2

Does Daylight Saving Time affect PST and EST?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the time difference remains 3 hours. From November to March, it's PST (UTC-8) to EST (UTC-5). From March to November, it's PDT (UTC-7) to EDT (UTC-4). The key change is the UTC offset, not the time difference between zones.

Question 3

Which states use PST and EST?

Accepted Answer

The Pacific Time Zone (PST/PDT) includes California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada (except most of Elko County), and part of Idaho. The Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) covers New York, Florida, Georgia, and all states along the East Coast, plus Michigan, Indiana (most counties), and parts of Kentucky and Tennessee.
