Universal Time Coordinated (UTC)
Definition: Since 1972, the world has used UTC = Coordinated Universal Time. Yes, the order of the letters looks wrong, but that is the official acronym and English name. UTC seconds have a fixed duration, exactly the same as atomic seconds. And, in order to keep UTC synchronized to the revolution of the Earth, we have a leap second every few years.
GMT = Greenwich mean time.
This was the standard time for the world, until 1972. All time zones were GMT plus or minus some time, usually some number of hours.
