ΔT is the time difference between Universal Time, a time scale based on the Earth's non-uniform rotation, and Terrestrial Time, a uniform time scale currently based on the caesium atomic clock.
Δt and ΔT may also refer to:
The term is used to represent other time differences:
Δt, a difference in time, may refer to
- The interval of time used in determining velocity.
- The increment between successive nerve impulses.
The term is also used to represent differences or changes of temperature:
ΔT, a difference in temperature, may refer to
- In discussions of climate change.
- In discussions of heat transfer.
- In discussions of the effects of thermal gradients.
