Saturday, July 4, 2009

timegenie.com uses a variety of time zone abbreviations. This page contains a list of the abbreviations used and what they mean. The most important time zone to know is GMT and thus the reason why it is placed at the top of the list.

Notes About GMT:

  • GMT is an abbreviation for Greenwich Meantime
  • This is the time zone from which all other time zones are measured against. Other time zones will be either ahead (+) or behind (-) Greenwich Meantime. For example, Paris is GMT +1 hours. This means that when it is 12 noon in Greenwich, England, it is 1 PM in Paris. Los Angeles is GMT -8 hours. So when it is 12 noon in Greenwich, England, it is 4 AM in Los Angeles.
  • Greenwich Meantime is also known as Greenwich Meridian Line as Greenwich Meantime is measured against the line at the Royal Observatory Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England which is a borough (neighbourhood) of London.
  • The Royal Observatory was created in 1675 to help sailors calculate time at sea.
  • Greenwich Meantime is 0º longitude which is an imaginary line that goes from the North Pole to the South Pole.
  • GMT is also known as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and Zulu Time. Zulu Time is also referred to as Z—Time which is an aviation time code.
