What is the full form of ETA?

ETA: Estimated Time of Arrival

The full form of ETA is Estimated Time of Arrival. It is also called as Expected Time of Arrival. Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) is used to show the amount of time remaining for a particular entity to arrive or something is expected to be done. This entity can be a train, airplane, bus, ship, letter, courier anything that you expect to arrive. This term is commonly used to show the date the time at which a ship is supposed to arrive at the port. The time is specified in the form of a particular date with expected time in hours and minutes.

The Expected time is measured from the past experiences and with the help of a formula. For example, a certain flight may have a calculated ETA based on the speed by which it has covered the distance traveled so far. The remaining distance is divided by the speed previously measured to roughly estimate the arrival time. This particular method does not take into account any unexpected events (such as new wind directions) which may occur on the way to the flight’s destination.
