What is UTC?

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It does not observe daylight saving time, remaining constant throughout the year. UTC replaced Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as the more precise atomic time standard. Many people search for UTC to learn how local time zones align with global schedules. Since Central Time is typically UTC−06:00, or UTC−05:00 when daylight saving is in effect, understanding UTC is crucial for international business, satellite communications, and global events, making sure everyone remains synchronized across continents.
