GMT

GMT is the abbreviation of Greenwich mean time, which can be translated into “Greenwich mean time” or “Greenwich mean time” in Chinese, or “Greenwich mean time” or “Greenwich mean time” in literal translation. Greenwich here is located on the Thames River southeast of London, UK. There is also a Greenwich town in the United States, but it has nothing to do with time

UTC

UTC is the abbreviation of coordinated universal time, which is translated into “world standard time” in Chinese. In literal translation, it can be translated into “coordinated universal time” or “coordinated world time”. At present, it means GMT time. Why does it mean GMT?This is because the prime meridian (the meridian is the longitude, the prime meridian is the 0 degree longitude) actually passes through Mecca in the west of Saudi Arabia, not Greenwich in the UK. At that time, the Royal Society of England temporarily determined Greenwich as the crossing point of the original meridian. In addition, Britain was in the period of prosperity, so the whole world used it to the present. Maybe it’s not impossible to change the day to Mecca time as the standard time. So we usually use UTC instead of GMT

PDT

PDT is the abbreviation of Pacific Daylight Time, translated into Chinese as “Pacific Daylight Time”, 7 hours later than UTC. Google once mentioned in its Adsense that “on 09-6-13, our engineers will maintain the website from about 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on PDT.”

In fact, in addition to PDT time, there is a lot of time in North America:
summer in the United States begins on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October. Daylight saving time is one hour earlier than the normal time , and the corresponding PDT time is PST, pacific standard time. PST after daylight saving time
