How World Time Zones Work
The Earth is broadly divided into 24 standard time zones, each representing approximately 15 degrees of longitude. This system traces back to the late 19th century and is anchored at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, London (hence Greenwich Mean Time or GMT). Today, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) acts as the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time.
Our interactive time zone converter handles daylight saving time shifts automatically, ensuring that the world time you see on the map is always 100% accurate, no matter the season or location.
