Universal Time Coordinated

Offset: UTC is 0 hours ahead Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and is used in Universal

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world time standard that regulates clocks and time. It is successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For casual use, UTC is the same as GMT, but is used by the scientific community.
UTC is the time standard commonly used across the world since 1972. It is used in many technical fields, like aviation industry and meteorologists, also used to synchronize time across internet networks.

In the Layer Properties page’s Time tab, you can view the layer’s Time Zone. With this example, it would be set to ‘(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney)’ instead of UTC. In the date field header’s tooltip, you can view the same time zone ID. Time zones in ISO 8601 are represented as local time (with the location unspecified), as UTC, or as an offset from UTC. Local time (unqualified) If no UTC relation information is given with a time representation, the time is assumed to be in local time. UTC-06:00 Central Time Zone, the largest one by area, encompasses 20 states, but only 10 of them are located entirely within zone's boundaries, all remaining states have some exceptions. UTC-07:00 Mountain Time Zone includes 14 states, only 6 of them are wholly in this zone, all the others use the Mountain Time in some parts of their territories.
