A nanosecond (ns) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a second, that is, 1 / 1 000 000 000 of a second, or 10 −9 seconds. The term combines the SI prefix nano-indicating a 1 billionth submultiple of an SI unit (e.g. nanogram, nanometre, etc.) and second, the primary unit of time in the SI.
Time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually of proteins). picosecond: 10 −12 s: One trillionth of a second. nanosecond: 10 −9 s: One billionth of a second. Time for molecules to fluoresce. shake: 10 −8 s: 10 nanoseconds, also a casual term for a short period of time. microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs ...
29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond; 30 cm = 3.0 dm – maximum leg length of a Goliath birdeater; 31 cm = 3.1 dm – wingspan of largest butterfly species Ornithoptera alexandrae; 32 cm – length of the Goliath frog, the world's largest frog; 46 cm = 4.6 dm – length of an average domestic cat
1 ns: The time light takes to travel 30 cm (11.811 in) 10 −6: microsecond: μs One millionth of one second 1 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by an Intel 80186 microprocessor 2.2 μs: The lifetime of a muon 4–16 μs: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by a 1960s minicomputer: 10 −3: millisecond: ms One ...
A Unix time number is easily converted back into a UTC time by taking the quotient and modulus of the Unix time number, modulo 86 400. The quotient is the number of days since the epoch, and the modulus is the number of seconds since midnight UTC on that day.
In astrophysics and quantum physics a jiffy is, as defined by Edward R. Harrison, [13] the time it takes for light to travel one fermi, which is approximately the size of a nucleon. One fermi is 10 −15 m, so a jiffy is about 3 × 10 −24 s. It has also more informally been defined as "one light-foot", which is equal to approximately one ...
A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds.
