UT is an Abbreviation for Universal Time

UT is used as a basis for calculating time throughout most of the world. UT is also called Greenwich Time, Greenwich Mean Time, Zulu Time. It is the time along the prime meridian (0 longitude) that runs through the Greenwich Observatory outside of London, UK, where the current system originated.

UT is tied to the rotation of the Earth in respect to the fictitious "mean Sun," which gives equal 24-hour days throughout the year. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was measured from Greenwich Mean at midday until 1925, when the reference point was changed from noon to midnight and the name changed to "Universal Time."

UT, GMT and UTC can be used interchangeably (*)

Using the Table Below

UT conversion is fairly easy. Just add a specified number of hours to UT time to determine your time. All you need to know is your time zone and if / when your state or country enforces Daylight Saving Time. If it does, you add an additional hour to Universal Time during that time of the year.

*There are three separate definitions, UT0, UT1, and UT2, depending on which corrections have been applied to the Earth's motion. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) also known as Civil Time is kept within 0.9 seconds of UT1, by the addition of leap seconds to International Atomic Time (TAI). TAI is based on atomic clocks. The last leap second added to UTC was on December 31, 1998 at 23:59:60 UTC (the last minute of 1998 had one extra second). There will be no leap second in June 2003 but may be in December 2003, it will not be decided until July 2003! UT, GMT and UTC differ negligibly; therefore, they are used and can be used interchangeably without ill effect.
