How do I sync my device with an atomic clock?
Quick Answer: To sync your device with an atomic clock, use internet time servers that reference atomic clocks via the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Most devices have a built-in option to automatically update time from these servers. Just enable “Set time automatically” or “Sync with internet time” in your device’s settings.
Atomic clocks keep the most accurate time globally. Your device connects to NTP servers that get their time straight from atomic clocks maintained by governments and observatories.
When your device is set to sync automatically, it regularly contacts these servers to correct any drift in its internal clock. This way, your time stays precise without any manual effort.
If your device doesn’t support automatic sync, you can use apps or software designed to fetch atomic time and update your system clock for you.
