    696 ps: How much more a second lasts far away from Earth's gravity due to the effects of General Relativity: 10 −9: nanosecond: ns 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

  3. Microsecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond

    A microsecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 11.57 days. A microsecond is equal to 1000 nanoseconds or 1 ⁄ 1,000 of a millisecond. Because the next SI prefix is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10 −5 and 10 −4 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of microseconds.

  4. 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.

    A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic.Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.
