Get the Time of Day

Posted in: blogs

Do you wonder if anyone will ever give you the time of day? Are you doing business with people all over the world and fear calling them at 2 in the morning because you are not sure what time it is where they live? Rather than miscalculate time in your mind and make an error, check out Time, a website that really gives you the time of day.

A quick visit to Time will tell you what time it is anywhere in the world. The options for time include Samoa, Hawaii—Aleutian, Pacific, Alaska, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and UTC.

The website is offered as a public service and is cooperatively provided by the two time agencies of the United States, a Department of Commerce agency called the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the military counterpart of this agency, the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNC). The readings from the clocks of these agencies contribute to world time, which is called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

There are also interesting links to other websites at the Time website, including links to find out all about daylight savings time and why it happens, calendars throughout the ages and more enlightening resources about time throughout history.

Whether you want to call family overseas or you need to avoid making a business mistake by calling at the wrong time, visiting Time is a simple, fast way to find out the right time without complicated watches or even more complicated math equations.
