What is a UNITY file

UNITY files mostly belong to Unity by Unity Team. A UNITY file is a 3D scene in a video game project created with Unity game development environment. It contains YAML or plain text encoded settings for occlusion culling, lighting, fog density, fog mode, render settings, and references to dependencies required to render a scene. A UNITY file, by itself, is not of much use because it is often an entry point to a project. Unity can only open and render a UNITY file if the file is saved alongside other files in the project.
