[theme-reviewers] the_time vs the_date

[priyanshu mittal]

In my themes blog page I had used the_date function to display the post
published date but in some of the posts the date is not displayed so I
decided to use the_time instead and now got the desired result can you
please tell me why the_date function not producing the desired output ?
