*UT1 - Universal TimeUniversal Time (UT1) is a measure of the actual rotation of the earth, independent of observing location. UT1 is essentially the same as the now discontinued Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).Universal Time to Local Time ConversionTime Zones and Universal TimeTime can be measured in a number of ways. For instance, we can measure the passage of time via the orbital motion of Earth and other planets in the solar system (Dynamical Time). Or we can measure time based on the rotation of Earth on its axis with respect to the stars (Universal Time). Finally, we can measure time through the oscillations of atoms (International Atomic Time).Universal Time is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time or GMTUniversal Time or UT is the precise measure of time used as the basis for all civil time-keeping. Although their exact definitions differ, most readers can assume that Universal Time is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. |
Universal Time is actually based on the mean sidereal time as measured in Greenwich, England. It's also approximately equal to mean solar time from Greenwich.Standard to Universal time Conversion Chart
- Atlantic Standard Time (AST) = UT - 4 hours
- Eastern Standard Time (EST) = UT - 5 hours
- Central Standard Time (CST) = UT - 6 hours
- Mountain Standard Time (MST) = UT - 7 hours
- Pacific Standard Time (PST) = UT - 8 hours
