How to convert time from Japan Standard Time (JST) to Alaska Standard Time (AKST)
Converting between Japan Standard Time (JST)
and Alaska Standard Time (AKST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from JST cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo are -16 hour(s) apart to AKST cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Nome, 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 JST and AKST
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding Japan Standard Time and Alaska Standard Time
Japan Standard Time is UTC9, which means that the
local time in the Japan Standard Time zone is 9
hours apart from UTC. Alaska Standard Time is UTC-8,
which means that the local time in the Alaska Standard Time zone is -8 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from Japan Standard Time to Alaska Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Japan Standard Time is UTC9 and Alaska Standard Time is UTC-8, the time difference is: -16 hour(s)
-
-16 hours = Japan Standard Time's difference from UTC -8 + (Alaska Standard Time's difference from UTC 9
-
Alaska Standard Time has -16 hour(s) difference Japan Standard Time.
Understanding Japan Standard Time and Alaska Standard Time
Japan Standard Time is UTC9, which means that the
local time in the Japan Standard Time zone is 9
hours apart from UTC. Alaska Standard Time is UTC-8,
which means that the local time in the Alaska Standard Time zone is -8 hours apart from UTC.
Step 4: Practice Converting Times
Now that you know the process, try converting different times
from Japan Standard Time to Alaska Standard Time for practice before going to
the answer page. Remember to always add the Alaska Standard Time time
difference to the Japan Standard Time time.
