Time zones.
The times in the various time
zones are based on UTC (Universal
Coordinated Time). UTC has taken
over the function formerly per for-
med by Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT). UTC and GMT are both
based on longitude zero which
runs through Greenwich near
London. In most cases, the times
in other zones are calculated by
adding or subtracting whole hours,
depending on their respective
distances from the zero meridian.
In a few countries, e.g. Iran,
Afghanistan, India and certain
regions of Australia, there are
also time differences from UTC
of 3½, 4½, 5½ or 9½ hours.
