'''Coordinated Universal Time''' or '''UTC''' is the primary [[time standard]] by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of [[Solar time#Mean solar time|mean solar time]] at 0° longitude (at the [[IERS Reference Meridian]] as the currently used [[prime meridian]]) such as [[Universal Time|UT1]] and is not adjusted for [[daylight saving time]]. It is effectively a successor to [[Greenwich Mean Time]] (GMT). | '''Coordinated Universal Time''' or '''UTC''' is the primary [[time standard]] by which the world regulates clocks and time.
