The Date object can be used to represent a particular moment in time.
It also has a lot of useful methods that can be used for time manipulation.
new Date() returns a Date instance representing the current date and time,
as show in the example given below.
We can also get a Date instance representing a specific time
by passing an argument to the constructor.
The argument can be the number of milliseconds that has passed
since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC to the specific date and time,
or
it can be a string that represents the specific date and time.
In the example below,
we are passing a date as a string using the YYYY-MM-DD format.
In the example given above,
the time is not specified.
In such cases,
the time is defaulted to 00:00:00 UTC (Your browser will convert it to your local timezone).
You can change the argument from
"2021-01-01" to "December 02, 2021 23:45:01"
inside the Date() method to
observe how the output looks.
