If the time is 18:00 UTC, what time would it be in Vancouver?

To determine the correct time in Vancouver when it is 18:00 UTC, it is essential to understand the time zone difference between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and Pacific Time Zone, which includes Vancouver.

Vancouver operates on Pacific Standard Time (PST), which is UTC-8 hours. However, during daylight saving time, Vancouver switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), which is UTC-7 hours. Daylight saving time in Vancouver typically begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

If the question refers to a date during daylight saving time (for example, any time from March to November), Vancouver would be at UTC-7. Therefore, when it is 18:00 UTC, subtracting 7 hours gives:

18:00 - 7 hours = 11:00 local time in Vancouver.

If the date in question is outside of daylight saving time, then Vancouver would be at UTC-8. In that case, subtracting 8 hours from 18:00 UTC gives:

18:00 - 8 hours = 10:00 local time in Vancouver.

Given that the answer selected suggests 10:00 AM, this would be appropriate if the date falls outside of
