What is 5:10pm ACDT to ACST?
Are you looking to convert 5:10pm from ACDT to ACST? In this article, we'll give you the answer, but also explain how to calculate the difference in these two timezones.
5:10pm ACDT → 5:10pm ACST
In this example, ACDT is 0 hour ahead of ACST, which means that in order to convert 5:10pm from ACDT to ACST, we deduct 0 hour from 5:10pm to give us the answer, 5:10pm ACST.
If you have ever worked with timezones before, you may know that while they seem to be technically easy, there are lots of things to consider and it can sometimes get complicated when you try to calculate a time conversion like 5:10pm ACDT to ACST.
If you've ever set your clock forward or back by one hour, you know that daylight savings time can also change how many hours difference there is between two timezones.
Not only that, but some locations in the same time zone actually have different offsets. It can get really confusing, which is why we built this very simple tool that is designed to help anybody quickly and easily convert a time like 5:10pm from ACDT to ACST without having to think too much about it.

What are timezones?
There are around 24 different time zones that the world is divided into. Notice that I didn't say there are exactly 24, because actually some locations have a 1/2 hour shift in their times, and are not one of the strict 24 hour divisions.
Anyway, a standard time within most of those timezones is a certain offset (a number of hours) from UTC, which is the abbreviated name for Coordinated Universal Time. UTC is the new and improved version of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
All of the different timezones will have an offset assigned to them. This offset is the number of seconds difference between that timezone and UTC.
For the example in this article, the offset between UTC and ACDT is 37800 and the offset between UTC and ACST is 34200.
