Uptime is an aggregate of over a thousand validators' opinions, with each having their own view of the network. So all numbers are an approximation.

Each 3rd party explorer gets their information by asking a subset of validators for their opinion. Each validator forms their opinion independently.

The best practice would be to check and monitor your own node for a more accurate estimate of uptime.
