6 PM EST to WIB: Understanding Time Zones
What is EST?
EST stands for Eastern Standard Time, which is a time zone used in the eastern part of North America, particularly in the United States and Canada. This time zone is UTC-5 hours during standard time and UTC-4 hours during daylight saving time.
What is WIB?
WIB stands for Waktu Indonesia Barat, which is the Western Indonesian Time zone. This time zone is used in Indonesia and is UTC+7 hours.
Converting 6 PM EST to WIB
To convert 6 PM EST to WIB, we need to add 11 hours to the EST time. This is because WIB is 11 hours ahead of EST.
Calculation:
6 PM EST = 18:00 EST Add 11 hours to EST = 18:00 + 11 = 05:00 (next day)
Result:
6 PM EST is equivalent to 5:00 AM WIB (next day).
Key Takeaway:
Remember that WIB is 11 hours ahead of EST. When it is 6 PM EST, it is already 5:00 AM the next day in WIB.
