*KEEP IN MIND: As you figure out your times, please keep in mind daylight savings time. Example 2: Your located in Atlanta, GA and your local time is 9:00 AM.For on the West Coast, your UTC is -8 hours. So if your standing in San Diego then your local time would be 12:45 AM. For on the East Coast you are -5 hours behind UTC. If your standing in Manhattan, then your local time is 3:45 AM. Example 1: According to the universal time clock it is 08:45.Look at the chart up above, simply find your location. What you have to do is some basic math in order to figure out what your local time is in relation to UTC. You see the universal time clock is the same everywhere. You only need one piece of information, where your located. So now that you know what a universal time clock is and why it exists, the hard part is figuring out how to use it! Actually it is not that hard.
The benefits of having one set time can be used by all. Even businesses that operate online use a universal time clock in order to better understand traffic sources. However regardless of what you call it, the universal time clock is simply a way for all types of agencies and countries to operate and coordinate together. However after 1972 this universal time clock is simply refereed to as Universal Time Coordinated or better known as Coordinated Universal Time(UTC). Up until 1972, this world time used to be called Greenwich Mean Time(GMT). When you view the universal time clock up above, think of it as a way for the world to universally sync with one another. There is no AM or PM in the military, simply every hour of the day is used. Most people have heard of military time that operates off of a 24 hour time clock format. For all of these locations to get on the same page, a universal time clock was established. Hours differ greatly depending which part of the world you happen to be standing in. What Is UTC/GMT/Zulu Time? Why Use A Universal Time Clock?Īs everyone already knows, each part of the world operates in a different time zone. Universal Time is the time it takes the Earth to complete a turn on its axis and is used to validate TAI against an actual Earth day.If the Universal Time Clock does not display, please refresh. TAI is a combination of the output of 400 extremely precise atomic clocks that provides the precise calculation of the speed at which our clocks should tick. UTC is determined by International Atomic Time (TAI) and Universal Time. This standard is maintained, synchronized and coordinated worldwide. This standard is maintained using extremely precise atomic clocks along with calculations of the Earth’s rotation. They both remain constant and are not affected by daylight saving time (DST) although some countries observing GMT use DST in the summer. Hence no country officially uses UTC as its local time. It serves as the foundation for time zones worldwide. UTC on the other hand is a time standard.
It is used by some African and European countries. Although GMT and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) share the same time there is a fundamental difference between them. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is so named, because the longitudinal line after which it is named passes through Greenwich, London.
