You use "Es" when "It" is not referring to a specific person place or thing. Such as What time is it? Wie viel Uhr ist es?

From my understanding, you're right Nykia, "es" is more general than "Der/Die/Das" which point at specific things, or things mentioned before, but it's true it's a very useful way of saying "it" especially when you don't remember the gender of a word!
