• GMT: The time at the Greenwich Observatory in England is called GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time).
• Time Zone: The standard time zones of the world are expressed globally in terms
of the difference in hours ( up to 12 hours) from GMT ( 0 hours). A
time zone is a region throughout which this time difference is the
same.
• Daylight Saving Time: In some countries, time is advanced throughout the summer season.
The period in which this is applied is called "Daylight Saving Time."
