Exact Donetsk time. Current time in Donetsk (Ukraine)

On Sunday, March 26, at 3:00 Kyiv time, Ukraine switched to summer time- Clocks were moved forward an hour. The clock change occurs annually on the last day of the month.

At the same time, according to the order of the DPR leadership, Moscow time is in effect in the republic and the clocks are not changed. TGorlovka answers all questions about changing clocks in the DPR.

What time is it now?

The time in Kyiv is now the same as in the DPR. If in winter Kiev time is an hour behind Moscow, then in the summer they are equalized - because in the Russian Federation they do not switch to summer time.

Here is the exact current time:

How can you find out exactly what time it is?

Use time checking services. For example, in Google you can type the query “what time is it in Moscow” and search system will immediately display the exact answer. You can also use the Yandex.Time service.

Remember that these services do not recognize the DPR, so they believe that Donetsk is on Kiev time, not Moscow time.

How can I change the time on my phone that has changed automatically?

In settings. If you cannot find the section you need, use the instructions for the device or search on the Internet.

In former times, the simplest time reference points - dawn, noon and sunset - were sufficient for a full life. Many large cities lived on their own time, and the difference between the clocks in different cities was not an integer number of hours. With the development of communications, transport networks and the increase in the pace of life in major cities it was necessary to increase the accuracy of timing.

To store reference time, sundials, water clocks, and hourglasses were previously used, the error of which was several minutes per day. Over time, more accurate mechanical and quartz watches have become common, but by today's standards they also have a large error (seconds per day). Now atomic clocks stored on different continents are used as a reference time, and in the future, the radiation of a millisecond pulsar will most likely become the standard of exact time.

Free hours for the site

You can place an accurate time clock on your website for free. To do this, you need to include the ntpclock.js library:

IN Right place site, insert a clock element with a unique name, for example myClock:

And also the code for starting the clock with the above name:

NTPClock.setup("#myClock");

The script only displays the time, and you can set the design yourself, for example using CSS styles. Examples of different watch designs:

JavaScript NTPClock API

To get accurate time, JavaScript NTP library performs AJAX-request back to NTP server and takes into account measured network latency.

NTPClock object supply the next API for sites:

NTPClock.timeFormat(Date) - return value of supplied Date as formatted time string: HH:MM:SS . NTPClock.updateTime() - perform request to server and update local variables like drift , serverTZ , etc ... NTPClock.getServerTime() - return value of serverTime = localTime - drift as Date object. NTPClock.getSererTZ() - return server timezone as string . NTPClock.getDrift() - return value of drift = localTime - serverTime as int in milliseconds. NTPClock.setup(id) - setup clock at place of element with given id as string.

Important! Because of javascript crossdomain security restrictions, this library must not be downloaded, but included directly from this site.

In ancient times, knowing the exact time was not a daily need for humans. It was enough to determine the outcome of the day, and the main criterion for this was the position of the sun in the sky. Sunny day begin at exactly noon, and this time is determined by the location of the shadows on the sundial. Long years and for centuries this method was the main one and was used to count days. But the development of society and technical progress inexorably began to demand exact knowledge not only of days, but also of hours and minutes. After the sun clock, the hourglass appeared, and is now used to measure exact minutes during medical procedures and laboratory research, as well as tower, table, wall, and wrist.

The need for accurate time in modern life.

Why do you need to know the exact time? IN modern world without this, the entire way of life would be disrupted, giving way to chaos and disorder. The transport system and industry would freeze, people would be late educational establishments and to work. Buses, trains and planes fly according to a schedule tied to an exact time. Modern financial relationships, which include such a word as “delay”, cannot exist separately from accurate clock, minutes and seconds.

Time Zones

The territory of the earth is so vast that in one part globe the sun sets, and at the same time in another place people wake up under the rays of the rising star. To organize geographic distances relative to precise time, scientists came up with time zones. The earth's surface is theoretically divided into 24 such zones: according to the number of hours in a day. The conventional band is approximately 15°, and within this interval the time differs by an hour from the time of the neighboring ones, +/-. The countdown is based on the Greenwich meridian and this time is called “Greenwich Time” (GMT). IN Lately began to use a more advanced reference system - Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Exact time online

IN Soviet times In Russia, the clock on the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin was the standard of time. They were the ones that were verified for accuracy, and all other clocks in the country, young and old, were measured against them. Today, the exact time with seconds can be found on specialized websites on the Internet, for which you just need to go to their pages. In this case, the exact time will change online, and you can easily navigate by time zones to find out what time it is this moment in Los Angeles, Moscow or Yekaterinburg.
