Converting time across different time zones can sometimes be a bit tricky, but with a few simple calculations, you can easily know what time it is in another zone. 🌍 Today, we'll convert 9:30 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) to IST (Indian Standard Time) instantly.
Understanding GMT and IST
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the time standard that is used as a reference point for other time zones. It is essentially the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.
IST (Indian Standard Time) is the time observed throughout India and Sri Lanka, and it is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. This means that IST is at GMT+5:30.
Conversion Process
To convert GMT to IST, you add the time difference (5 hours and 30 minutes) to the GMT time.
