A UNIX timestamp is a numerical representation of the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at midnight UTC. It is commonly used in computer systems and software to represent a specific point in time, and is often used for date and time calculations.

Unix timestamp, also known as Unix time or POSIX time, is a system for representing time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It is widely used in computer systems and programming languages to track and manipulate time-related data. The Unix timestamp provides a standard and consistent way to represent dates and times across different platforms and programming languages, regardless of time zones or daylight saving time changes. It is often used for tasks such as storing and comparing timestamps, calculating time differences, and performing date and time operations in various software applications and systems.
