How to convert time from Mountain Standard Time (MST) to Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Converting between Mountain Standard Time (MST)
and Pacific Standard Time (PST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from MST cities like Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, Phoenix are -1 hour(s) apart to PST cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, 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 MST and PST
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding Mountain Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time
Mountain Standard Time is UTC-6, which means that the
local time in the Mountain Standard Time zone is -6
hours apart from UTC. Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7,
which means that the local time in the Pacific Standard Time zone is -7 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from Mountain Standard Time to Pacific Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Mountain Standard Time is UTC-6 and Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7, the time difference is: -1 hour(s)
-
-1 hours = Mountain Standard Time's difference from UTC -7 + (Pacific Standard Time's difference from UTC -6
-
Pacific Standard Time has -1 hour(s) difference Mountain Standard Time.
Understanding Mountain Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time
Mountain Standard Time is UTC-6, which means that the
local time in the Mountain Standard Time zone is -6
hours apart from UTC. Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7,
which means that the local time in the Pacific Standard Time zone is -7 hours apart from UTC.
Step 4: Practice Converting Times
Now that you know the process, try converting different times
from Mountain Standard Time to Pacific Standard Time for practice before going to
the answer page. Remember to always add the Pacific Standard Time time
difference to the Mountain Standard Time time.
