Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between UTC and GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is a time standard, while GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is a time zone. They show the same time but serve different purposes.

Key Points:

  • UTC is the scientific time standard used worldwide
  • GMT is based on solar time at Prime Meridian (0Β° longitude)
  • Both are at UTC+0 offset
  • UTC is more precise (uses atomic clocks)
  • Use UTC for international coordination

2. How many hours ahead or behind is EST from GMT?

EST (Eastern Standard Time) is 5 hours behind GMT/UTC. When it's 12:00 PM (noon) in London, it's 7:00 AM in New York.

Time Differences:

London (GMT)12:00 PM
New York (EST)7:00 AM (-5 hours)
Los Angeles (PST)4:00 AM (-8 hours)

Note: Add 1 hour during Daylight Saving Time (EDT, not EST)

3. What is Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

Daylight Saving Time is the practice of moving clocks forward 1 hour in spring and back 1 hour in fall to make better use of daylight.

DST Details:

Spring Forward: Clocks move ahead 1 hour (lose 1 hour of sleep)
Fall Back: Clocks move back 1 hour (gain 1 hour)
USA: March to November (2nd Sunday to 1st Sunday)
Europe: March to October (last Sundays)
Not All Countries: Many don't observe DST (e.g., India, China, Japan)
