Also known as present time, nowadayes

The present is the period of time that is occurring right now. The present is in contrast to the past, the period of time that has already occurred; and the future, the period of time that has yet to occur.

AI overview

The present is the period of time that is happening right now, as opposed to the past (which has already happened) or the future (which hasn't happened yet). It matters because it's the only moment in which we can actually experience and act on the world around us.
