You can find the metadata in a photo by dragging the photo from your computer to an online EXIF viewer. Metadata is the information a camera attaches to a digital photo when the photo is saved to the camera’s memory card. Metadata, also called EXIF DATA, usually includes the time and date of the photo, the camera and lens used, the focal length of the lens, and some cameras record the GPS coordinates of the photo.

One of the site that does this is “Online EXIF Viewer”, which you can see here.

When I dragged my Moon Over Balanced Rock photo to the yellow rectangle I got a long page of information. At the top of the page is some basic photo information, 40mm focal length, ISO 100, 30 seconds at f/11. A map on the left show the location of the photo and the GPS coordinates. On the right is some detailed photo information. including the camera, date and time of the photo and more.
