The difference in time is caused by the position of a particular country on the globe. We know that radio signals can cross the International Date Line, so we need a worldwide standard for time and date. The standard time of Greenwich city near London is considered as the standard time in all over the world. It is because the zero degree meridian line has crossed through this city.
But now days, GMT is replaced by UTC which follows the same principles. However, the world is divided into a few time zones. When we shift from one time zone to the other, changes in time and date may take place. So it is very important for the tourists to know about the local time as well as its difference from GMT or UTC. East Timor’s time difference with UTC or GMT is of +9 hours. This means the local time of that place is 9 hours advance than the Greenwich Mean Time. It also proves that East Timor is somewhere in the east to Greenwich.
