An order of magnitude describes the link between two amounts. The difference between each step is usually 10, with each order being either 10 times greater or 10 times smaller than the next amount. This makes the scale easy to manipulate using logarithms. For time, the difference between the smallest limit of time, the Planck time, and the next ...
Unit of time. A unit of time or midst unit is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) and by extension most of the Western world, is the second, defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom.

Attosecond. An attosecond ( as) is a very short period of time. [1] It is equal to one quintillionth of a second (or 0.000000000000000001 seconds). It can also be written as 10−18 seconds. Because it can be hard to think about how short this period of time is, on this page is a list of descriptions of periods of time longer than 1 attosecond ...
Picosecond. A picosecond is a standard unit of measuring time. It is equal to 10 −12 of a second. It is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000000000001 seconds. One picosecond contains 1000 femtoseconds. There are 1000 picoseconds in one nanosecond . 10 -10 seconds is 100 picoseconds. 10 -9 seconds is 1 ...
A millisecond (sometimes shortened to 'ms') is one thousandth of a second. This page lists times between 10−3 seconds and 10 −2 seconds (1 milli second to 10 milliseconds). One millisecond contains 1000 microseconds. There are 1000 milliseconds in one second. 1 millisecond – the time it takes for a normal flash in a camera to finish.
Picosecond. A picosecond (abbreviated as ps) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10 −12 or (one trillionth) of a second. That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds. A picosecond is to one second as one second is to approximately 31,689 years.
