Definition and Usage. The UTC method returns the number of milliseconds between a specified date and midnight of January 1, 1970, according to universal time.

Mount Vernon is on the West Coast, which is in the Pacific Standard Time (PST) zone, which is time zone U (Uniform), which is Z -8 hours, or, more correctly, UTC.
Utc Time Conversion Chart
- The earth is divided into 24 time zones, -11 to +12. Each time zone is 1 hour long, or 15° wide in longitude. Greenwich England is, by definition, in the middle of Time Zone 0, the prime meridian. UTC time is the local time at Greenwich England. Time in other locations will be the UTC time hour plus or minus the local Time Zone.
