Does the gap change during the year?

Yes, because of daylight saving. Until 1 Nov 2026: EST is 8 h behind GST. From 1 Nov 2026 to 14 Mar 2027: EST is 9 h behind GST. From 14 Mar 2027 to 7 Nov 2027: EST is 8 h behind GST.

GST does not change its clocks. EST next changes its clocks on 1 Nov 2026 (back 1 h, to UTC−5), then on 14 Mar 2027 (forward 1 h, to UTC−4).
