Converting 04:00 UTC to EST
** UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) **
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). UTC is the basis for all modern civil times.
**EST (Eastern Standard Time) **
EST (Eastern Standard Time) is a time zone that is 5 hours behind UTC. It is used in the eastern part of North America, including the eastern United States and Canada.
Converting 04:00 UTC to EST
To convert 04:00 UTC to EST, we need to subtract 5 hours from the UTC time.
04:00 UTC - 5 hours = 23:00 EST (previous day)
So, 04:00 UTC is equivalent to 23:00 EST (previous day).
Important Note
Keep in mind that during daylight saving time (DST), EST becomes EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), which is 4 hours behind UTC.
Conclusion
In conclusion, 04:00 UTC is equivalent to 23:00 EST (previous day). It's essential to consider the DST period when converting between UTC and EST.
