ET is Eastern Time in North America i.e. New York which is 5 hours behind the UK. PT is Pacific Time for example Los Angeles which is 8 hours behind UK. So if it is 12.00 pm in London it will be 7.00 am in New York, 4.00am In LA.

Answer 11

Eastern and Pacific.

The US has a few time zones, so it depends on which part of the country you are talking about.

New York City is (EST) GMT -5, and Los Angeles (PST) is GMT -8. (+1 to that depending on the time of year)

Alaska and Hawai'i are in zones by themselves.

Answer 12

Eastern Time and Pacific Time.

EST = Eastern Standard Time

PST = Pacific Standard Time

EDT = Eastern Daylight Savings Time

PDT = Pacific Daylight Savings Time

As far as how many hours behind North America is, that would depend on the time zone.

Answer 13

Answer 15

et means eastern time and pt means pacific time GMT time is now 20:15 i think they are about 5-7 hours behind

Answer 16

The UK isn't using GMT.  They're presently running clocks for British Summer Time (BST).

Answer 17

These stand for Eastern Time and Pacific Time  We have 4 time zones in the 48 contiguous states.  Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific.  We also use Daylight Savings time for more than half the year now.  So we would have to establish which time zone and whether it is standard or daylight savings time.

To convert 12:00 GMT to EST (Eastern Standard Time), you would subtract 1 hour for each time zone from Greenwich to our eastern time zone (5 zones).  That makes it 7:00 AM EST.  To get EDT, add 1 hour and it is 8:00 AM EDT.

Answer 18

Eastern Time and Pacific Time.

and I believe they are 5 hours behind.
