Greenwich Mean Time was adopted across the island of Great Britain by the Railway Clearing House in 1847, and by almost all railway companies by the following year, from which the term " railway time " is derived.

The term Greenwich Mean Astronomical Time ( GMAT ) was introduced to unambiguously refer to the previous noon-based astronomical convention for GMT.

Mean solar time was sometimes derived, especially at sea for navigational purposes, by observing apparent solar time and then adding to it a calculated correction, the equation of time, which compensated for two known irregularities, caused by the ellipticity of the Earth's orbit and the obliquity of the Earth's equator and polar axis to the ecliptic ( which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun ).

Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) was originally mean time deduced from meridian observations made at the Royal Greenwich Observatory ( RGO ).

The local time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England was chosen as standard at the 1884 International Meridian Conference, leading to the widespread use of Greenwich Mean Time to set local clocks.

In 1928 the term Universal Time was adopted internationally as a more precise term than Greenwich Mean Time, because GMT could refer to either an astronomical day starting at noon or a civil day starting at midnight.
