Greenwich is the famous home of the Prime Meridian line (also known as the Greenwich Meridian), which passes through the Royal Observatory. A meridian is a line used as a reference for astronomical observations. Since the late 19th century, Greenwich's Prime Meridian line has been the reference point for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). GMT is the yearly average time the sun crosses the Prime Meridian line in Greenwich, measured from midnight to midnight. Before this was established, parts of the world kept local times, with no universal measure for an hour or day. Visit the Royal Observatory in Greenwich to learn more about the Prime Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time.
