time conversion

Translating between clocks

Time conversion is the process of translating between different time formats or zones.

This includes converting between 12-hour and 24-hour clock formats 3:00 PM to 15:00, between time zones What time is it in Tokyo when it's noon in New York? , or between units How many minutes in 2.5 hours? .

Software often handles time conversion automatically when scheduling across regions.
