Does the gap change during the year?

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

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). EAT does not change its clocks.
