Pacific Standard Time

Pacific Standard Time (PST) is a time zone used on the west coast of North America, covering places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Tijuana. It is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-8). During daylight saving months, it switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), which is UTC-7. PST helps synchronize schedules across regions, ensuring activities like business, travel, and broadcasts occur at standardized times. It’s part of the broader system of time zones that divide the world into regions aligned with the Earth's rotation, facilitating consistent and practical timekeeping across different locations.
