(thats not all of them) but that kind of time...what do i put in?

Answer 1

GMT -4 during DST

GMT -5 when not in DST

so now, it's GMT-4

Answer 2

Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 5 hours behind GMT.  During the summer months, we have "saving time" so the notation then is Daylight Saving Time and for the east coast, it is 4 hours behind GMT.

A little extra here, Central time is 1 hour behind the east coast, Mountain time is 2 hours behind, Pacific time is 3 hours behind, and Alaska and Hawaii are 5 hours behind.

Answer 3

GMT -05:00

Answer 4

GMT -5

Use -5 (GMT)/ Military Zulu time

Answer 7

Always use GMT -500 for EST.

EDT will adjust for itself on almost all websites.

Answer 8

The longitude or time zone line that passes through Greenwich, England is at 0 degrees for GMT. Each time zone is 15 degrees wide and one hour time difference.  

If you are on Eastern Daylight Time in the US, you are between the 90 degree line and the 75 degree time zone, so divide 90 by 15 degrees, that makes 6 time zones from Greenwich, hence +6 hours + 1 more hour for Daylight Savings time.  So during the DST months, GMT should be 7 hours later than your time.  

During the standard time months, GMT would be 6 hours later than yours.  

I thought I remembered from when I lived in Knoxville (also Eastern time) that our Ireland plant was 7 hours later in summer, but I had to check time zones on the globe to make sure I was telling you right
