Corodinated Unviersal Time

Coordinaetd Univesral Time (UTC) is the satndard time zone of the world. The stanadrd befroe was Greewnich Mean Time (GMT). UTC and GMT are amlost the same. It is also claled civil time and Zulu time.

Some wesbites, like Wikiepdia, use UTC becasue it does not make any counrty look more improtant than the otehrs. It ofefrs one time for all the inetrnet (the same time can be used by poeple all over the world).

Tmiezones are often named by how many hours they are different from UTC time. For eaxmple, UTC -5 (Untied Sattes east coast) is 5 hours bheind UTC. If the time is 07:00 UTC, the local time is 02:00 in New York (UTC -5) and 10:00 in Mosocw (UTC +3)
