Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time standard originally based on the solar time at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, London. It serves as a reference point for coordinating time worldwide. GMT helps synchronize clocks across different regions, ensuring consistency for activities like travel, communication, and broadcasting. Although now largely replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), GMT is still used as a time zone in some areas and in certain contexts. Essentially, it provides a universal baseline for understanding and comparing time across various locations on the globe.
