How to convert time from Alaska Standard Time (AKST) to Mountain Standard Time (MST)
Converting between Alaska Standard Time (AKST)
and Mountain Standard Time (MST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from AKST cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Nome are 2 hour(s) apart to MST cities like Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, Phoenix, holiday schedules, and the basic
communication becomes a juggling act. To make it easier to
understand, we'll break down the process of converting time
between AKST and MST
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding Alaska Standard Time and Mountain Standard Time
Alaska Standard Time is UTC-8, which means that the
local time in the Alaska Standard Time zone is -8
hours apart from UTC. Mountain Standard Time is UTC-6,
which means that the local time in the Mountain Standard Time zone is -6 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from Alaska Standard Time to Mountain Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Alaska Standard Time is UTC-8 and Mountain Standard Time is UTC-6, the time difference is: 2 hour(s)
-
2 hours = Alaska Standard Time's difference from UTC -6 + (Mountain Standard Time's difference from UTC -8
-
Mountain Standard Time has 2 hour(s) difference Alaska Standard Time.
Understanding Alaska Standard Time and Mountain Standard Time
Alaska Standard Time is UTC-8, which means that the
local time in the Alaska Standard Time zone is -8
hours apart from UTC. Mountain Standard Time is UTC-6,
which means that the local time in the Mountain Standard Time zone is -6 hours apart from UTC.
Step 4: Practice Converting Times
Now that you know the process, try converting different times
from Alaska Standard Time to Mountain Standard Time for practice before going to
the answer page. Remember to always add the Mountain Standard Time time
difference to the Alaska Standard Time time.
