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 ...
The average human finger snap takes 150,000 microseconds (just over 1 ⁄ 7 second). A camera flash illuminates for 1,000 microseconds. Standard camera shutter speed opens the shutter for 4,000 microseconds or 4 milliseconds. 584542 years of microseconds fit in 64 bits: (2**64)/(1e6*60*60*24*365.25).
3.3 milliseconds – normal delay time between initiation and detonation of a C4 explosive charge; 4 milliseconds – typical average seek time for a 10,000 rpm hard disk; 5 milliseconds – a honey bee's wing flap [7] 5 milliseconds to 80 milliseconds – a hummingbird's wing flap; 8 milliseconds – 1/125 of a second, a standard camera ...

Used to measure the time between alternating power cycles. Also a casual term for a short period of time. centisecond: 10 −2 s: One hundredth of a second. decisecond: 10 −1 s: One tenth of a second. second: 1 s: SI base unit for time. decasecond: 10 s: Ten seconds (one sixth of a minute) minute: 60 s: hectosecond: 100 s: milliday: 1/1000 d ...

The packet transmission time in seconds can be obtained from the packet size in bit and the bit rate in bit/s as: Packet transmission time = Packet size / Bit rate. Example: Assuming 100 Mbit/s Ethernet, and the maximum packet size of 1526 bytes, results in Maximum packet transmission time = 1526×8 bit / (100 × 10 6 bit/s) ≈ 122 μs
As such it may differ from UTC(USNO) by a few hundred nanoseconds, [16] which in turn may differ from official UTC by as much as 26 nanoseconds. [15] Conversions for UT1 and TT rely on published difference tables which as of 2022 are specified to 10 microseconds and 0.1 nanoseconds respectively.
