Iana Timezones where GMT-5 is currently observed

GMT is 6 hours ahead of CST. If you are in GMT, the most convenient time to accommodate all parties is between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm for a conference call or meeting. In CST, this will be a usual working time of between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm. This time span will be between 7:00 am and 11:00 pm CST time.

The best time to call from CST to GMT CST is 6 hours behind of GMT.

To convert 18:00 UTC (6:00 p.m.) into your local time, subtract 6 hours, to get 12 noon CST. During daylight saving (summer) time, you would only subtract 5 hours, so 18:00 UTC would convert to 1:00 p.m CDT.

Broadly defined, official time is paid time off from assigned Government duties to represent a union or its bargaining unit employees. Labor and management are equally accountable to the taxpayer and have a shared responsibility to ensure that official time is authorized and used appropriately.

Current time of each standard

UT1 (Universal Time 1) measures the Earth’s rotation with respect to the distant stars (quasars, nowadays), scaled by a factor of (one mean solar day)/(one sidereal day), with small adjustments for polar motion. There are exactly 86400 UT1 seconds in a UT1 day.

Earth’s angle of rotation = 2π(0.7790572732640 + 1.00273781191135448(Julian UT1date – 2451545.0)) radians. So one observes Earth’s angle of rotation and calculates the Julian UT1 date as a decimal date from that formula.

Based on the rotation of the Earth, time can be measured by observing celestial bodies crossing the meridian every day. Astronomers found that it was more accurate to establish time by observing stars as they crossed a meridian rather than by observing the position of the Sun in the sky.
