UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. It is the time standard commonly used across the world and is the same at all locations. It is not dependent on time zones and is based on the time at the prime meridian (0 degrees longitude).
UTC literally stands for Universal Time Coordinated (though it is typically referred to as Coordinated Universal Time) and is the standard time common to every place in the world. It is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and Zulu (Z). UTC is defined as the time at longitude 0 degrees, the prime meridian.
