Coordinate Time
Coordinate Time is a time standard used in astronomy and other scientific fields to provide a uniform reference for timekeeping. It is based on the International Atomic Time (TAI) and is adjusted to account for the irregularities in the Earth's rotation. This ensures that time measurements are consistent and reliable across different locations.
The concept of Coordinate Time is essential for tasks such as satellite navigation and astronomical observations. By using this standardized time, scientists and engineers can synchronize their activities and share data accurately, regardless of where they are in the world.
