世界时间（World time） When defining the world UT (universal time) Greenwich time, also known as the world. The location of the Greenwich standard time. Now not only is the astronomers using the Greenwich time, is also often appear in the press this term. We know all over the place time. If the international a major issue, with local time to record, will feel complex inconvenience. And in the future a long time to get. Therefore, astronomers proposed an acceptable and convenient recording method, which is based on the local standard time is greenwich. Greenwich is a British former South London Greenwich Observatory is located, it is also the starting point of the world geographic longitude. The major events in the world, with the local time record of greenwich. Once you know the Greenwich time, it is easy to calculate the local time is. For example: an event in the morning at 8 GMT, China in the east of England, Beijing time is 8 hours earlier than GMT, we immediately know that this happened in the equivalent of 16 Beijing time, is 4 pm Beijing time. The prime meridian from Midnight Sun Ping ping. Also called Greenwich [1] usually or Greenwich time. Places around the world and usually equal to the difference of the geographical longitude. Before 1960 as the basic time measurement system is widely used. Due to the influence of the variation of earth rotation, it is not a uniform time system. Later, when the world has been replaced by the almanac and atomic time, but in daily life, astronomical navigation, geodesy and space flight etc. are required; at the same time, changes in the earths rotation rate reflects the world, is one of the earth rotation parameters, the basic data is still in astronomy and Physics of the earth. The basic theory of the world is the time measurement system to the rotation of the earth movement as the standard. The earths rotation angle relative to the available local meridian basic points on the celestial sphere reference motion to measure. In or
