How to convert time from China Standard Time (CST) to Atlantic Standard Time (AST)
Converting between China Standard Time (CST)
and Atlantic Standard Time (AST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from CST cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen are -10 hour(s) apart to AST cities like Halifax, Moncton, Saint John, Charlottetown, 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 CST and AST
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding China Standard Time and Atlantic Standard Time
China Standard Time is UTC8, which means that the
local time in the China Standard Time zone is 8
hours apart from UTC. Atlantic Standard Time is UTC-3,
which means that the local time in the Atlantic Standard Time zone is -3 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from China Standard Time to Atlantic Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since China Standard Time is UTC8 and Atlantic Standard Time is UTC-3, the time difference is: -10 hour(s)
-
-10 hours = China Standard Time's difference from UTC -3 + (Atlantic Standard Time's difference from UTC 8
-
Atlantic Standard Time has -10 hour(s) difference China Standard Time.
Understanding China Standard Time and Atlantic Standard Time
China Standard Time is UTC8, which means that the
local time in the China Standard Time zone is 8
hours apart from UTC. Atlantic Standard Time is UTC-3,
which means that the local time in the Atlantic Standard Time zone is -3 hours apart from UTC.
Step 4: Practice Converting Times
Now that you know the process, try converting different times
from China Standard Time to Atlantic Standard Time for practice before going to
the answer page. Remember to always add the Atlantic Standard Time time
difference to the China Standard Time time.
