How the Time Zone Converter Works
The time zone converter uses a simple formula to convert times between EST and PST. The formula is based on the 3-hour difference between the two time zones. The conversion process involves the following steps:
- Determine the current time in EST, including the hour, minute, and AM/PM designation.
- Subtract 3 hours from the current EST time to get the equivalent time in PST.
- Adjust the AM/PM designation as needed to ensure the converted time is in the correct 12-hour format.
