What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called Epoch time or POSIX time) is a way computers track time. Instead of using traditional date formats like YYYY-MM-DD, timestamps count the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC).
For example:

  • 1704067200 → Converts to January 1, 2024, 00:00:00 UTC
  • 1609459200 → Converts to January 1, 2021, 00:00:00 UTC

Why Do We Use Unix Timestamps?

  • ✅ Databases (storing timestamps efficiently)
  • ✅ Programming (handling date/time easily in scripts)
  • ✅ APIs (ensuring time consistency across systems)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)?

What is the difference between Unix timestamp and normal date?

A Unix timestamp is an integer counting seconds from 1970-01-01, while a normal date is formatted like YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

Can a Unix timestamp be negative?

Yes! Negative timestamps represent dates before January 1, 1970.

Do Unix timestamps consider time zones?

No, timestamps are always in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If needed, you must manually adjust for time zones.

Why do some timestamps have milliseconds?

Some systems store timestamps in milliseconds instead of seconds (e.g., JavaScript). To convert, just divide by 1000.
