LastWriteTime vs LastModifiedDate?

I have a file that has ‘LastModifiedDate’ datetime that is different from ‘LastWriteTime’ datetime.
In another word ‘LastModifiedDate’ is giving me different datetime than ‘LastWriteTime’.

The question is, what is difference between ‘LastModifiedDate’ and ‘LastWriteTime’ from Get File Info activity?

The difference between the two is metadata, lastwritetime records the last time that the data was modified and the lastmodifieddate highlights when the readonly metadata is accessed such as the filename or other variations of metadata.
