Understanding Time Zones, UTC, and GMT
A **time zone** is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. The world is divided into 24 main time zones.
- UTC (Coordinated Universal Time): This is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is not a time zone but a time standard.
- GMT (Greenwich Mean Time): This is a time zone, officially used in some European and African countries. In casual use, GMT and UTC are often used interchangeably.
Our **time difference calculator** uses the UTC standard as its baseline for all calculations.
What is Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
DST is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time. This can cause confusion as the UTC offset for a location changes. Our **timezone converter** automatically handles these shifts for you.
