  2. Unix time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

    Unix time[a] is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time by the number of non- leap seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch. In modern computing, values are sometimes stored with higher granularity, such as microseconds or nanoseconds.

  3. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(computing)

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

    List of tz database time zones. The tz database partitions the world into regions where local clocks all show the same time. This map was made by combining version 2023d with OpenStreetMap data, using open source software. [1] This is a list of time zones from release 2024b of the tz database. [2]

  5. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    The year 2038 problem (also known as Y2038, [1] Y2K38, Y2K38 superbug or the Epochalypse[2][3]) is a time computing problem that leaves some computer systems unable to represent times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time —the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC ...

  6. Epoch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch

    An epoch in computing is the time at which the representation is zero. For example, Unix time is represented as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, not counting leap seconds. An epoch in astronomy is a reference time used for consistency in calculation of positions and orbits.

  7. ISO 8601 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

    ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time -related data. It is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was first published in 1988, with updates in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2019, and an amendment in 2022. [1] The standard provides a well-defined ...

  8. List of UTC offsets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets

    This is a list of the UTC time offsets, showing the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from the westernmost (−12:00) to the easternmost (+14:00). It includes countries and regions that observe them during standard time or year-round. The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets ...

    Yes. Long formats: English: mmmm d, yyyy DMY dates are also used occasionally, primarily by, but not limited to, government institutions such as on the data page of passports, and immigration and customs forms. Filipino: ika- d ng mmmm (,) yyyy [ 135 ] or a- d ng mmmm (,) yyyy (Note: Month and year can be shortened.
