2Pm Est To Kenya Time
Converting 2PM EST to Kenya Time
Understanding Time Zones
Time zones are regions of the globe that observe a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. They are typically defined by longitude and are one hour apart from each other. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, each corresponding to 15 degrees of longitude.
Calculating Time Differences
To calculate the time difference between two locations, you need to know their respective longitudes and the time zone they are in. The longitude of a location is measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England.
Converting EST to Kenya Time
Eastern Standard Time (EST) is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the basis for most time zones around the world. Kenya is in the East Africa Time Zone (EAT), which is three hours ahead of UTC. To convert 2PM EST to Kenya time, follow these steps: * Subtract 5 hours from 2PM EST to get 9AM UTC. * Add 3 hours to 9AM UTC to get 12PM EAT. Therefore, 2PM EST is equivalent to 12PM in Kenya.
Additional Information
* Kenya observes East Africa Time (EAT) throughout the year, as it does not observe daylight saving time. * Daylight saving time is observed in the United States from March to November, during which EST becomes Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is four hours behind UTC. * To convert 2PM EDT to Kenya time, subtract 4 hours from 2PM EDT to get 10AM UTC, then add 3 hours to get 1PM EAT.
