Is military time and zulu time the same?
No, military time and zulu time are both read on 24 hour clocks, but military time is just how you say what time it is. Military time could be in any time zone. Zulu time is a global time and it is calculated depending on where you are in the world. Zulu time is based in Greenwich, England.
What is Zulu hours?
Zulu Time - or Greenwich Mean Time is just an agreed standard that all other time zones relate to. So rather than a submarine commander having to worry about what time it is in Pearl Harbor and what time in Washington DC - Zulu time as the world standard is used to avoid confusion.
What is the difference between mountain time and zulu time?
Zulu time and Greenwich Mean Time are the exact same thing, as is typical of the military, it coined its own term. Since Greenwich is the site of the "zero meridian," they called GMT "Zero Time" or simply "Z- Time." In the phonetic alphabet that the flyers of the time used to make themselves understood on their radios, "Z" became "Zebra." When the alphabet was changed, the call sign became "Zulu." Clarification: They are not *exactly* the same thing. Zulu time does not shift with daylight savings time. It is a constant time that the military uses and in fact coined a term for. They did not just call GMT by a new name, they created a new standard time.
What is the Time difference between mountain time and Zulu time?
Mountain Daylight Saving Time is 6 hours behind Zulu Time. Mountain Standard Time is 7 hours behind Zulu Time.
Why did zulu time get its name?
The time zones each have a letter designation. Except there is no "I" or "O". The GMT zone has the letter "Z". For which the standard communications word for is ZULU. (As in Alpha, Bravo, etc.) Armond Noble
