The Arduino platform provides relative time via the millis() function. This function returns an unsigned 32-bit integer representing "milliseconds since startup", which will roll over every 49 days. By default, this is the only timing source available in the platform and programs need to take special care to handle rollovers. [98]
Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent and common time, is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of true ...

Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...
In our older years, we are confronted with our limited time. At 20, we think we have unlimited time, but that begins to change as we hit 50, 60 and up
The United States Naval Observatory states "the Equation of Time is the difference apparent solar time minus mean solar time", i.e. if the sun is ahead of the clock the sign is positive, and if the clock is ahead of the sun the sign is negative. [6] [7] The equation of time is shown in the upper graph above for a period of slightly more than a ...
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. For example, at midnight on 1 January 2010, Unix time was 1262304000. Unix time originated as the system time of Unix operating systems.
System time can be converted into calendar time, which is a form more suitable for human comprehension. For example, the Unix system time 1 000 000 000 seconds since the beginning of the epoch translates into the calendar time 9 September 2001 01:46:40 UT.
