These time zones range from 5 to 10 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5:00 to GMT-10:00), depending on which state you are calling from.
Lithuania is in the Eastern European Time Zone, which operates two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +2:00).
This means that, during most of the year, midnight in Lithuania will occur at 5pm Eastern and 2pm Pacific.
