Time Zone Converter Among Different Time Zones

How Can You Use Our Time Converter Tool?

A Global Time Zone Converter lets you compare different countries' time zones with any individual country. You can convert, compare, and check a country's time zone with your own and know the time. You can compare multiple cities in your selected country to know the gap between the different time zones simultaneously. The Global Time Converter allows you to compare your custom time and date with the time and date in other countries and cities. All in all, It is a time zone converter to convert and compare the global time. To use this time converter tool, follow the given steps below.

Step #1: Select your country option.

How Many Time Zones Are There In The World?

The world is divided into 24 hour time zones. For a particular place, the correct time is defined by calculating the seconds of one day. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task. The world is separated longitudinally into time zones roughly 15 degrees apart.

Some countries have half-hour time zones in the world. So for that reason, there is a 24-hour time zone in the world. Most of the bigger and smaller countries have only one time zone, and on the other side, 23 countries have two time zones at least.

Which Organizations Regulate Time Zones?

It is a very informative topic to regulate and provide countries with accurate timekeeping globally. This is why there are lots of organizations in existence handling this duty.

For instance, the United States of America's time zone is handled by two organizations: (NIST) National Institute of Standards and Technologies and (USNO) United States Observatory. These two organizations keep the clock and time connected.

Time differences also affect the transportation industry. Using modern technologies, we can now switch time zones in hours. This complex system requires proper regulation to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation that could lead to mistakes. The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates timekeeping and establishes standards to follow, which is why it plays a crucial role in the process.

This collective time scale is maintained and handled by the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures). BIPM is an international organization based on the Meter Convention, which coordinates the implementation of all time-related standards worldwide.

In addition to Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) and International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) groups, the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) maintains global standards for time and reference frames.

What is Daylight Savings Time?

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is used to save energy and make better use of daylight. It was used for the first time in 1908 in Canada, Thunder Bay. The concept of daylight savings time (DST) refers to what people do during the summer months when they set their clocks forward one hour from standard time and then turn them back at the end of the year.

What Are GMT And UTC?

GMT is known as Greenwich Mean Time, and UTC is Coordinated Universal Time. GMT is a time zone, and UTC is a time standard. Let's see the difference between GMT and UTC.

GMT is a time zone and is used in African and European countries. The time has been shown in the 24-hour format or 12-hour format.

UTC is not a time zone, and it consists of civil time and time zones worldwide. Meanwhile, no countries use the UTC as local time officially.
