This is a list of the UTC time offsets, showing the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from the westernmost (−12:00) to the easternmost (+14:00). It includes countries and regions that observe them during standard time or year-round.
Universal Time (UT or UT1) is a time standard based on Earth's rotation. [1] 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 ...
This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 17 January 2025. Primary time standard "UTC" redirects here. For the time zone between UTC−1 and UTC+1, see UTC+00:00. For other uses, see UTC (disambiguation). It has been suggested that UTC offset be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2024. Current time zones Coordinated ...

DUT1 is a time correction equal to the difference between Universal Time , which is defined by Earth's rotation, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is defined by a network of precision atomic clocks, with a precision of +/- 0.1s [1] [2]. DUT1 = UT1 − UTC (with a precision of +/- 0.1s)
Plot showing the difference UT1−UTC in seconds. Vertical segments correspond to leap seconds. Red part of graph was prediction (future values) at the time the file was made. Graph showing the difference between UTC (based on an atomic clock with leap seconds) and UT1 (based on the movement of the Earth).
Screenshot of the UTC clock from time.gov during the leap second on 31 December 2016.. A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to accommodate the difference between precise time (International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks) and imprecise observed solar time (), which varies due to irregularities and long-term ...
