TIME STANDARD

UTC is a time standard, not a time zone. Unlike time zones, which vary based on
geographical location and can be subject to daylight saving time adjustments,
UTC remains constant. It provides a uniform reference for time across the globe,
making it indispensable for international timekeeping, especially in fields like
aviation, computing, and telecommunications.

The concept of Coordinated Universal Time was formalized in 1960. It was
designed to provide a more precise and stable timekeeping system than its
predecessor, GMT. While GMT was based solely on the Earth's rotation and
celestial observations, UTC introduced the use of highly precise atomic clocks.
These atomic clocks measure time based on the vibrations of cesium atoms,
providing an extremely stable and consistent time standard.

However, Earth's rotation is not as consistent as atomic timekeeping. It can be
influenced by various factors like the moon's gravitational pull and geological
events, leading to slight variations in the length of a day. To account for
these irregularities and maintain alignment with mean solar time, UTC
occasionally undergoes adjustments through the addition of leap seconds. This
ensures that the difference between UTC and mean solar time never exceeds 0.9
seconds.


FAQ


WHAT IS UTC?

UTC, or Coordinated Universal Time, is the primary time standard by which the
world regulates clocks and time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT).


WHAT TIME IS IT UTC/GMT?

Current time is 4:13 PM UTC


UTC IS GMT?

Prior to 1972, the time designation was Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), but it is
currently known as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC). This precise time standard is managed by the Bureau International des
Poids et Mesures (BIPM) and is alternatively referred to as "Z time" or "Zulu
Time."
