GMT0200

GMT0200 is a reference time standard, also known as atomic clock time. It serves as a global time standard and is used to regulate the world's atomic clocks. This time standard is the same everywhere on the Earth, allowing for synchronization of international business and communication.

GMT0200 is based on the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) system, which is derived from the Earth's rotation. Each UT day, or day in UTC time, is divided into 24 hours, each consisting of 60 minutes, with 60 seconds per minute. The offset from the mean solar time can be viewed more clearly by comparing it to the offset from the civil standard, which is set by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS).

The day of December 31, 1959, of the Coordinated Universal Time calendar was defined as the moment when the Unix epoch started. It marks the beginning of Unix time, the standard timekeeping system for computing. Since then, the system has added years to each new year without any in-between, practically making it add to years without interruption.

GMT0200 time standard is used in many applications, including accurate forecasting, satellite navigation, and timekeeping. It remains a fixed temporal boundary that most atomic clocks must observe, helping to maintain consistent temporal values around the world.
