Time Zone Help?

Question

If it is 11:55 in Georgia. What time is it GMT+1 time? I have to do something at 9 am GMT+1 time and I was wondering what time that was Eastern Time.

Answer 1

Georgia time is GMT - 4.

At 11:55 PM in Georgia it is 4:55 AM in GMT + 1.

At 9 AM in GMT + 1 it will be 4AM in Georgia.

Answer 2

The best way to find any times is to go to your fav search engine and type ATOMIC CLOCK or TIME ZONES or WHAT TIME IS IT NOW IN then type the place you want to find out about.

Answer 3

It's probably 4:55.

I say "probably" because it's not clear whether Daylight Saving Time has been allowed for.  Right now, Georgia USA is on Eastern Daylight Time, GMT-4.

GMT+1 would be five hours ahead.  Right now, that corresponds to British Summer Time and West European Summer Time, as the clocks are set in Britain, Ireland and Portugal, 4:55.

In winter, though, GMT+1 means Central European Time, the time zone from Spain and France eastward to Poland.  In summer, they too turn their clocks ahead to Central European Summer Time, which is GMT+2.  If they forgot to calculate this fact, the time they gave you may be wrong by one hour.  

So, to mistake-proof this answer, it would help to know where your GMT+1 person actually is.

Answer 4

GMT = Greenwich mean time, Greenwich is a place in Britain, which is located at ZERO deg.  longitude.  Each degree = 4 min.   Locate any place on earth, know its longitude say 50 deg.  then multiply 4 x 50 = 200 mins.  If it is in Eastern side, then substract 200 mins from UK's time,  if it is in Western Side, then ADD to UK time.    

Georgia longitude is 43.3 East.   so taking it as 44 for ease of calculations 44 x 4 = 176 mins = 2 hrs 56 mins.   Being in Eastern zone, then from UK's time  deduct 2 hrs 56min. you will get Georgias time.

To get UK's time, ADD 2 hrs 56 min to Georgias time to get time in Great Britain.

This methods if for finding exact time at a place.  However, the time zone meridian for Georgia may be passing through a different longitude.   So get that info.

When a time is shown as GMT +1 hr...it means add ONE hour to UK's time.
