Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Eastern Time and Hawaii Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

  • November 8 to March 13: 3 AM EST = 10 PM HST the previous day
  • March 14 to November 6: 3 AM EST = 9 PM HST the previous day
  • November 7 to November 7: 3 AM EST = 10 PM HST the previous day

Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT for daylight saving time; people often say EST all year.
