Quick Time Facts

  • There are 86,400 seconds in a day, equal to 1,440 minutes or 24 hours.
  • UTC is the global reference time standard, and time zones are expressed as offsets from it.
  • Unix timestamps count seconds since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC, which is why they are common in software and APIs.
  • ISO 8601 reduces date ambiguity by using machine-friendly formats like YYYY-MM-DD and YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ.
  • Leap years usually occur every four years, but century years must also be divisible by 400 to qualify.
