PST and EST are time zones in North America. PST is Pacific Standard Time and EST is Eastern Standard Time. There is a difference of 3 hours between these time zones. The Timezone Offsets of PST and EST are -8 and -5 respectively. This means that PST is eight hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), while EST is only five hours behind.
If we were converting between these two time zones, there would be a two hour difference. PDT is seven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) so it is written as UTC -7:00. EST is five hours behind UTC, written as UTC -5:00. Hereâs an example: If it is 2:15 PM in Pacific Daylight Time, then it is 4:15 PM in Eastern Standard Time. This gap widens when both zones are off of DST in the winter months. When both standard times are in effect, the difference is three hours.
