2.68 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. [2] 3.33564095 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one kilometre in a vacuum. 5.4 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum (or radio waves point-to-point in a near vacuum).
About 17 minutes. hour: 60 min: deciday 0.1 d (10 % of a day) 2.4 hours, or 144 minutes. One-tenth of a day is 1 dd (deciday), also called "gēng" in traditional Chinese timekeeping. day: 24 h: Longest unit used on stopwatches and countdowns. The SI day is exactly 86 400 seconds. week: 7 d: Historically sometimes also called "sennight". decaday
minutes, hours, days (1 ks = 16 min 40 s = 1,000 s) 1 ks: The record confinement time for antimatter, specifically antihydrogen, in electrically neutral state as of 2011; [16] 1.477 ks: The longest period in which a person has not taken a breath. 1.8 ks: The time slot for the typical situation comedy on television with advertisements included
Milliseconds and microseconds are particularly common. Prefixes for multiples of a second are rarely used: ... 11.6 days (or 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes and 40 ...
Radar timing is usually expressed in microseconds. To relate radar timing to distances traveled by radar energy, the speed is used to calculate it. With speed of radar waves at approximately the speed of light in vacuum or 299,792,458 metres per second (300 m/μs; 984 ft/μs) and nautical mile at 1,852 metres (6,076 ft), the delay per nautical ...
Occasionally, these units can be found in technical literature, but traditional units like minutes, hours, days and years are much more common, and are accepted for use with SI. It is possible to specify the time of day as the number of kiloseconds of elapsed time since midnight. Thus, instead of saying 3:45 p.m. one could say (time of day) 56. ...
In some data communication standards, a time unit (TU) is equal to 1024 microseconds. [1] This unit of time was originally introduced in IEEE 802.11-1999 standard [2] and continues to be used in newer issues of the IEEE 802.11 standard. [1] In the 802.11 standards, periods of time are generally described as integral numbers of time units.
His 12-hour day or kalpa (a.k.a. day of Brahma) is followed by a 12-hour night or pralaya (a.k.a. night of Brahma) of equal length, each lasting for 4.32 billion years. A kalpa lasts for 1,000 chatur-yugas and has 14 manvantaras and 15 manvantara-sandhyas occurring in it. At the start of Brahma's days, he is re-born and creates the planets and ...
