Coordinated Universal Time
Coordinated Universal Time (abbreviated to UTC ) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time at 0° longitude , [1] and is not adjusted for daylight saving time . In some countries where English is spoken, the term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is often used as a synonym for UTC. [2]

Coordinated Universal Time abbreviated to UTC , is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time at 0° longitude ; [1] it does not observe daylight saving time . For most purposes, UTC is considered interchangeable with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), but GMT is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community. |

Coordinated Universal Time ( French : Temps universel coordonné ), abbreviated to UTC or CUT , is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time at 0° longitude; [1] it does not observe daylight saving time . It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For most purposes, UTC is considered interchangeable with GMT, but GMT is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community. |

Coordinated Universal Time ( French : temps universel coordonné , UTC ) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For most purposes, UTC is used interchangeably with GMT, but GMT is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community; also, some assert GMT can refer to British Summer Time (BST), which is one hour ahead of UTC.

Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time . Computer servers, online services and other entities that rely on having a universally accepted time use UTC for that purpose. If only limited precision is needed, clients can obtain the current UTC time from a number of official internet UTC servers. For sub-microsecond precision, clients can obtain the time from satellite signals. Time zones around the world are expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC, as in this list . |

Coordinated Universal Time (abbreviated UTC ) [1] is the time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. Computer servers, online services and other entities that rely on having a universally accepted time use "Coordinated Universal Time" for that purpose. Though there are scientific differences (explained below) between "Coordinated Universal Time" and the time standard known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) - in the very broadest sense as understood by non-scientists, "Coordinated Universal Time" in essence is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). When times are listed as being "UTC" - this is de facto the equivalent of "GMT". |

Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) [1] ( French : Temps Universel Coordonné ) is a time standard based on International Atomic Time (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth 's slowing rotation. [2] Leap seconds are used to allow UTC to closely track UT1 , which is mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich . |

Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) is a high-precision atomic time standard . UTC has uniform seconds defined by International Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds announced at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth 's slowing rotation and other discrepancies. Leap seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), a time standard based not on the uniform passage of seconds, but on the Earth's angular rotation. |

Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC - see Abbreviation below for explanation) is a high-precision atomic time standard . UTC has uniform seconds defined by International Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds announced at irregular intervals to compensate for the earth's slowing rotation, and other discrepancies. The leap seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), which is a time standard based on the earth's angular rotation, rather than a uniform passage of seconds. |

Coordinated Universal Time or UTC , also sometimes referred to as " Zulu time " or Z , is an atomic realization of Universal Time (UT) or Greenwich Mean Time , the astronomical basis for civil time . Time zones around the world are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UT. UTC differs by an integral number of seconds from International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks and a fractional number of seconds from UT. |

Coordinated Universal Time or UTC , also sometimes referred to as " Zulu time ", the basis for civil time , differs by an integral number of seconds from atomic time and a fractional number of seconds from UT1 . Time zones around the world are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UTC. UTC is the successor of Greenwich Mean Time , abbreviated as GMT, and is still colloquially called GMT sometimes. The new name was coined to eliminate having the name of a specific location in an international standard. UTC bases time measurement on atomic standards rather than GMT's celestial ones. |
