Universal Time or Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) is the world’s reference point for time. It’s like a huge, extremely accurate clock for everyone, no matter where they are on Earth.
Universal Time was once based on Greenwich Mean Time, which is based on the Earth’s rotation, but that has changed to precise atomic clocks, which are much more accurate.
UTC doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time and is 1 hour behind the UK.
