    Ten seconds (one sixth of a minute) minute: 60 s: hectosecond: 100 s: milliday: 1/1000 d (0.001 d) 1.44 minutes, or 86.4 seconds. Also marketed as a ".beat" by the Swatch corporation. moment: 1/40 solar hour (90 s on average) Medieval unit of time used by astronomers to compute astronomical movements, length varies with the season.

  3. Past sea level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_sea_level

    For example, geological observations indicate that during the last 2,000 years, sea level change was small, with an average rate of only 0.00.2 mm per year. This compares to an average rate of 1.7 ± 0.5 mm per year for the 20th century. [24] Baart et al. (2012) show that it is important to account for the effect of the 18.6-year lunar nodal ...

  5. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a meter; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly) 1.0 mm – side of a square of area 1 mm²; 1.0 mm – diameter of a pinhead; 1.5 mm – average length of a flea [27]

    The Earth's core freezes if the inner core continues to grow in size, based on its current growth rate of 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter per year. [99] [100] [101] Without its liquid outer core, Earth's magnetosphere shuts down, [102] and solar winds gradually deplete the atmosphere. [103] c. 3 billion [note 1]

  7. Millisecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond

    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.

  8. Orders of magnitude (speed) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(speed)

    To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various speed levels between approximately 2.2 × 10 −18 m/s and 3.0 × 10 8 m/s (the speed of light). Values in bold are exact.

  9. Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

    To show that, one can apply Noether's theorem to a body that freely falls into the well from infinity. Then the time invariance of the metric implies conservation of the quantity g ( v , d t ) = v 0 / T 2 {\displaystyle g(v,dt)=v^{0}/T^{2}} , where v 0 {\displaystyle v^{0}} is the time component of the 4-velocity v {\displaystyle v} of the body.
