How to Use the Timezone Clock
Using this clock widget is incredibly simple. The analog clock face shows the time with three hands: the shorter hour hand, the longer minute hand, and the thin red second hand that moves in a smooth sweeping motion. Below the clock, you'll find a digital display showing the time in a 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator, along with the complete date.
To check the time in different parts of the world, simply use the timezone dropdown selector. Choose from major cities like New York, London, Tokyo, or Sydney, and watch as both the analog and digital displays update instantly to show the selected timezone. The display also shows the current timezone abbreviation (EST, PST, GMT, etc.) and UTC offset.
Understanding Time Indicators
Time indicators like AM/PM, timezone abbreviations, and UTC offsets can sometimes be confusing. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you understand what these indicators mean:
AM/PM
AM stands for "Ante Meridiem" which is Latin for "before midday". It refers to the time from midnight to noon.
PM stands for "Post Meridiem" which means "after midday". It refers to the time from noon to midnight.
UTC/GMT
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is not adjusted for daylight saving time.
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is often used interchangeably with UTC, though technically GMT is a time zone while UTC is a time standard.
