    One billionth of one second 1 ns: The time needed to execute one machine cycle by a 1 GHz microprocessor 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

  3. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    However, one billion seconds before the 2038 cutoff date is 01:27:28 UTC on 13 May 2006, so requests sent after this time would result in a time-out date which is beyond the cutoff. This made time-out calculations overflow and return dates that were actually in the past, causing software to crash.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year

    One galactic year is approximately 225 million Earth years. [2] The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) or 143 mi/s (514,000 mph) within its trajectory around the Galactic Center, [3] a speed at which an object could circumnavigate the Earth's equator in 2 minutes and 54 seconds; that speed corresponds to ...

    More precisely, a billion seconds is exactly 31 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. Does this allow for leap years? — Arthur Rubin 09:28, 14 May 2019 (UTC) I am guessing not because the number of leap days will vary over the duration. Years, months and weeks should ideally be converted into weeks.

    One billion or 10 9 years. Cosmology and geology. [39] For example, the formation of the Earth occurred approximately 4.54 Ga (4.54 billion years) ago and the age of the universe is approximately 13.8 Ga. Ta (for teraannus) One trillion or 10 12 years: An extremely long unit of time, about 70 times as long as the age of the universe.

  8. Attosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attosecond

    An attosecond (abbreviated as as) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −18 or 11 000 000 000 000 000 000 (one quintillionth) of a second. [1] An attosecond is to a second, as a second is to approximately 31.69 billion years. [2]

  9. Nanosecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanosecond

    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.
