Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), and Zulu Time are three different names for the same time zone. This time zone is situated at the Prime Meridian, zero degrees longitude, and runs through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, a section of London, England. It is the Prime Meridian from which other longitudes are determined, east and west.
