The Date field accepts a date in the *ISO format. When you add this field in the content type, it renders a calendar to select the date and time on the entry page.

You can deactivate the time field using the ‘Hide Time’ option under its properties.

(*ISO format - The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) date and time format is a standard way to express a numeric calendar date -- and optionally time -- in a format that eliminates ambiguity between entities.)
