What is input type time in HTML?

Using HTML <input type = “time”> will create a field with controls with which we can pick a time (Hours, and Minutes) instead of typing that value down.

So if in a form of a document, we needed users to enter time as well, we can use this element to help users pick the time faster and easier.
