Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

AKST to EET Time Difference – Complete Guide

AKST runs on Alaska Standard Time (AKST) at UTC-09:00. EET runs on Eastern European Time (EET) at UTC+02:00. That puts AKST 11 hours ahead of EET — a difference of +11h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in AKST it is 8:00 PM in EET. Midnight in AKST is 11:00 AM in EET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert AKST to EET time

Scheduling a call from AKST to EET: a 10:00 AM start in AKST lands at 9:00 PM in EET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +11h gap: AKST and EET have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in EET is 8:00 PM in AKST.
Coordinating a AKST-based team with EET contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AKST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +11h gap is not.
With a +11h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week AKST takes the early slot, the next week EET does.

About AKST (Alaska Standard Time)

Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is used in nearly all of Alaska. Due to Alaska's vast geographic size, the Aleutian Islands use Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time instead. During summer months, Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT, UTC-08:00).

About EET (Eastern European Time)

Eastern European Time (EET) covers a wide geographical area including Eastern Europe (Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine), the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Jordan), and northeastern Africa (Egypt, Libya). During summer, most EET countries switch to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+03:00). Turkey permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016, effectively leaving EET.

Best time to call between AKST and EET

With a +11h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. EET opens at 9:00 AM EET, which is 8:00 PM in AKST, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.

Business hours overlap

AKST and EET have no shared working hours because of the +11h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.

AKST is 11 hours ahead of EET (AKST UTC-09:00 → EET UTC+02:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
