Universal Time (UT or UT1) is a time standard based on Earth's rotation. While originally it was mean solar time at 0° longitude, precise measurements of the Sun are difficult. Therefore, UT1 is computed from a measure of the Earth's angle with respect to the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), called the Earth Rotation Angle (ERA ...

Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC) is the primary time standard globally used to regulate clocks and time. It establishes a reference for the current time, forming the basis for civil time and time zones. UTC facilitates international communication, navigation, scientific research, and commerce.
Universal Time (UT) is a solar time standard that reflects the average speed of the Earth's rotation. Learn about the different versions of UT, such as UT1, UT2, and UT0, and how they are measured by the stars and radio telescopes.
Aug 6, 2009 · Learn about the difference between UT1 and UTC, the astronomical and atomic time scales, and the leap seconds that adjust UTC to keep it within ±0.9 s of UT1. See the table of past and future leap seconds and the current UT1-UTC values from NIST and USNO.
UT1, which gives the precise angular coordinate of the Earth about its spin axis, is obtained by correcting UT0 for the effects of polar motion. Finally, an empirical correction to take account of annual changes in the Earth’s speed of rotation is added to UT1 to convert it into UT2.
Jul 31, 2023 · Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the worldwide reference time scale computed by the Bureau international des poids et mesures ( BIPM) − the international organization dealing with matters related to measurement science and measurement standards.
