What is PDT?
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is a time zone used in the western United States and Canada. It is equivalent to UTC-7 hours during standard time and UTC-6 hours during daylight saving time.
What is WIB?
Western Indonesian Time (WIB) is a time zone used in Indonesia, which is equivalent to UTC+7 hours. Indonesia spans across three time zones: WIB, Central Indonesian Time (WITA), and Eastern Indonesian Time (WIT).
Converting 00:00 PDT to WIB

So, when it's midnight in PDT, it's 3:00 PM in WIB the next day.
Why is the Conversion So Large?
The significant conversion is due to the huge difference between the two time zones. PDT is UTC-7, while WIB is UTC+7. This 14-hour difference is what causes the large conversion.
