UTC

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a standard time reference used globally, and it is often used as a basis for synchronizing clocks and timekeeping systems. UTC is based on the international atomic time scale and is calculated by taking into account the rotation of the Earth, so it is a highly accurate and reliable standard for timekeeping.

EST

The Eastern Standard Time (EST) is a time zone that is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). It is used in North America, including parts of the United States, Canada, and some Caribbean countries.
