The Real Time display refers to the actual time passing in real life when the simulator is running. The real time factor (RTF) is the ratio between simulation time and the speed of real time. If the RTF is one, it means that the simulation is happening at a rate identical to the speed of time in reality.
The state of the world in Gazebo can change with each iteration. Each iteration can make changes in Gazebo for a fixed amount of time. That fixed time is ...
