No, they are different. The name "international time" can be used for UTC. In everyday life we use it. It is the timezone of the zero meridian.
The "international atomic time" however is a scientific time-scale derived from atomic clocks.
There is a growing gap between the two time. The UTC contains "jumps", these are the so called leap-seconds.
What else can I help you with?
Where can one learn about atomic time?
Wikipedia contains an article on "International Atomic Time," which provides a general discussion on the topic. For more information, see the NPL page "What is Time?"
What time is utc?
UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time) is time based on International Atomic Time with leap seconds added as needed. It is not precisely the same as Greenwich Mean Time, but the slight difference is irrelevant if you don't need to have time given with accuracy of less than a second.
Do isotopes have the same atomic number and the same atomic mass?
No: They have the same atomic number but not the same atomic mass.
How official time is kept?
Official time is kept using atomic clocks, which are extremely accurate and precise. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the international standard for timekeeping and is based on atomic time. UTC is maintained by a network of atomic clocks located around the world and corrected periodically to align with the Earth's rotation.

How would one explain how atomic watches work?
Atomic watches receive radio signals from various companies that indicate what the current time is. These signals are released from the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris, ensuring that atomic watches are constantly synchronized with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
What is the same in isotopes?
isotopes always have the same? mass # & atomic #, or atomic # and atomic weight, or atomic # but different mass #'s
Why did the Battle of Okinawa lead to the atomic bomb?
The Battle of Okinawa did not lead to the atomic bomb, this battle happened in 1945 just a couple of months before the Manhattan Project completed the atomic bomb which they had been working on since 1942. With or without the Battle of Okinawa the atomic bomb would have been finished at the same time and dropped on Japan at the same time.
Same atomic number same atomic mas?
If two atoms have the same atomic number, it means they have the same number of protons in their nucleus. If they also have the same atomic mass, it means they have an equal number of protons and neutrons. These atoms would be isotopes of the same element.
UTCs are comprised of but not limited to which of the following?
UTCs (Coordinated Universal Time) are comprised of atomic time and astronomical time. Atomic time is based on highly precise atomic clocks, while astronomical time is based on the rotation of the Earth. Other elements involved in UTCs include leap seconds to account for the slowing of the Earth's rotation and international agreements to ensure a common time reference worldwide.
Is the atomic number the same as atomic mass?
No.
What is the International Atomic Energy Agency?
IAEA is an independent International organization formed to promote the peaceful use of atomic energy and to inhibit any military use of atomic energy. It was founded in 1957 and is headquartered in Vienna, Austria.
