Greenwich Mean Time
Greenwich Mean Time (
GMT) is the
mean solar time at the
Royal Observatory in
Greenwich,
London. GMT was formerly used as the international civil time standard, now superseded in that function by
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Today GMT is considered equivalent to UTC for UK civil purposes (but this is not formalized) and for navigation is considered equivalent to
UT1 (the modern form of mean solar time at 0° longitude); these two meanings can differ by up to 0.9 s. Consequently, the term GMT should not be used for precise purposes.
