No, *time* is stored as milliseconds after the epoch in a number (IEEE double).
A Date object includes position on planet and timezone politics (see

No, it doesn't. Any time zone information used by getTimeZoneOffset and other non-UTC
Date API is based on time zone information in the environment: the "local time
zone" is typically what the user has told the OS to use. A Date object itself only
wraps the time value.
No. This is not well-specified by ECMA-262, implementations do crack
time to date fields in Date instances, and one's timezone can change in
a running system (say a Firefox OS phone one takes on a plane).
