countdown clock
Seconds until zero
A countdown clock is a display showing time remaining until a specific event—a rocket launch, a deadline, the new year.
Unlike regular clocks that track time passing, countdown clocks measure time left: The countdown clock showed thirty seconds to liftoff.
They appear on websites, in sports arenas, and wherever anticipation builds toward a moment.
