What is the time difference between Pacific region and Atlantic region?

Question

What is the time difference between Pacific region and Atlantic region?

I found answer in http://wiki.answers.com site, and It says 3 hour means AST is 3 hour behind from PST.

Update: I want the correct off set between EST (Eastern time zone) and AST (Atlantic time zone).

I just want to confirm it.

Thanks..

Answer 1

If you specifically mean the timezones AST and PST (rather than the broader definition of "Atlantic Region" and "Pacific region", then:

• AST is currently UTC - 4 hours.
• PST is currently UTC - 8 hours.

So the time difference is currently 4 hours (i.e. AST is four hours ahead of PST).

Answer 2

AST is 1 hour ahead of EST.
