Date

The Date data type is used to store dates in ISO 8601 format, which includes the year, month, day, and time with UTC time zone. This data type is particularly useful for storing information about events that occur on specific dates or for tracking the age of entities. Since dates are stored with UTC time zone, the data can be consistently interpreted across different time zones.
