GMT

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a term originally referring to

mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in

England. It is now often used to refer to Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC) when this is viewed as a time zone, although

strictly UTC is an atomic time scale which only approximates
GMT in the old sense. It is also used to refer to Universal Time

(UT), which is the astronomical concept that directly replaced

the original GMT.
