•  Greenwich Mean Time

  Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a term originally referring to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It is commonly used in practice to refer to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when this is viewed as a time zone, especially by bodies connected with the United Kingdom, such as the BBC World Service, the Royal Navy, the Met Office and others, although strictly UTC is an atomic time scale which only approximates GMT with a tolerance of 0.9 second.

•  Central Time Zone (Americas)

  The Central Time Zone is in the Americas and observes standard time by subtracting six hours from UTC during standard time (UTC–6) and five hours during daylight saving time (UTC–5). The clock time in this zone, composed almost totally of a strip of territory in North America, is based on the mean solar time of the 90th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called Central Time (CT).
