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.

While usually sub-second units are represented with SI prefixes on the second (e.g. milliseconds), this system can be extrapolated further, such that a "Third" would mean 1 ⁄ 60 of a second (16.7 milliseconds), and a "Fourth" would mean 1 ⁄ 60 of a third (278 microseconds), etc. These units are occasionally used in astronomy to denote angles.
