'die Uhrzeit' and 'die Ortszeit' both have to do with time information. 'die Uhrzeit' simply means the exact time of day, for example 8:30. 'die Ortszeit' means the time that applies in a particular place, especially for travel, flights, or time zones. The words can be confused because both can be shown on a clock. In everyday life, you usually ask for the 'Uhrzeit' (time). 'Ortszeit' (local time) is more precise when different countries or time zones are involved.
