What Does EST Stand For?
EST stands for Eastern Standard Time
Eastern Standard Time (EST) is a time zone that is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). It is observed in the eastern part of the United States and Canada during standard time, typically from the first Sunday in November until the second Sunday in March. EST is used to regulate time in major cities such as New York, Washington D.C., and Toronto. During daylight saving time, EST shifts to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4.
