Question Questions

We can say "What time is it now?" and we can also say "What's the time now?" in the same way.So I ask whether we can say "What date is it today?" as well as "What's the date today?" or not.Thank you very much!

Yes, but you can say (British English): Have you got the time please? but not:
Have you got the date please? I wonder why not.
