The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- At different times in the past, it has been calculated in different ways, including being calculated from noon, as a consequence, it cannot be used to specify a particular time unless a context is given.
- The term "GMT" is also used as one of the names for the time zone UTC+00:00 and, in UK law, is the basis for civil time in the United Kingdom.
- Because of Earth's uneven angular velocity in its elliptical orbit and its axial tilt, noon GMT is rarely the exact moment the Sun crosses the Greenwich Meridian and reaches its highest point in the sky there.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Greenwich Mean Time article was read about 460,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
