3.6 ks: The length of one hour (h), the time for the minute hand of a clock to cycle once around the face, approximately 1/24 of one mean solar day 7.2 ks (2 h): The typical length of feature films 35.73 ks: the rotational period of planet Jupiter, fastest planet to rotate 38.0196 ks: rotational period of Saturn, second shortest rotational period
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).
Once every one million years 10 −12: 1 picohertz (pHz) 1.23 pHz Precession of the Earth's axis (about every 25,700 years) 10 −11: 10 pHz ~31.71 pHz: Once per millennium 10 −10: 100 pHz ~317.1 pHz: Once per century 10 −9: 1 nanohertz (nHz) ~1 nHz: Once per generation (about every 30 years) ~2.9 nHz: Average solar cycle (about every 11 ...
The amount of time light takes to travel one Planck length. quectosecond: 10 −30 s: One nonillionth of a second. rontosecond: 10 −27 s: One octillionth of a second. yoctosecond: 10 −24 s: One septillionth of a second. jiffy (physics) 3 × 10 −24 s: The amount of time light takes to travel one fermi (about the size of a nucleon) in a ...
An asteroid called 2020 CD3 was bound to Earth for several years before leaving the planet's orbit in 2020 and another called 2022 NX1 became a mini-moon of Earth in 1981 and 2022 and will return ...
Daily time dilation (gain or loss if negative) in microseconds as a function of (circular) orbit radius r = rs/re, where rs is satellite orbit radius and re is the equatorial Earth radius, calculated using the Schwarzschild metric. At r ≈ 1.497 [Note 1] there is no time dilation. Here the effects of motion and reduced gravity cancel.
One light-nanosecond is almost 300 millimetres (299.8 mm, 5 mm less than one foot [2]), which limits the speed of data transfer between different parts of a computer. One light-microsecond is about 300 metres. The mean distance, over land, between opposite sides of the Earth is 66.8 light-milliseconds.
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. A millisecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 16.67 minutes.
