Please discuss this on the article talk page. There are official defining documents for this time scale, some of which are cited in the article. I am not aware of any of them referring to it as Universal Time Coordinated. Jc3s5h (talk) 14:14, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Reverting - March Equinox

You reverted my edit why? I deleted the wording in the article because it sounds like an error when you read it. BangGut (talk) 21:41, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What had been a complete sentence became "However, because of the angular size of the Sun, atmospheric refraction, and the rapidly changing duration of the length of day that occurs at most latitudes around the equinoxes." This phrase does not contain a vowel, so is not a complete sentence. Furthermore, the structure of the sentence before the duration of daytime and nighttime are not exactly equal on the date of the equinox, and then explain why. After the change, the phrase doesn't say much of anything. Jc3s5h (talk) 21:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
