Target Time (24hr) vs Source Time (24hr)
Formule
## How Time Zone Conversion Works Each time zone is defined as an offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). To convert, calculate the difference in offsets and add it to the source time. ### Formula **Target Time = Source Time + (Target UTC Offset - Source UTC Offset)** If the result is negative, add 24 (previous day). If over 23, subtract 24 (next day).
Exemple Résolu
It is 14:00 (2 PM) in UTC-5 (New York). What time is it in UTC+1 (Paris)?
- 01Offset difference = 1 - (-5) = 6 hours
- 02Target time = 14 + 6 = 20:00 (8 PM)
- 03Paris is 6 hours ahead of New York
