Understanding Time Conversion

Quick Formula

nanoseconds = milliseconds × 1,000,000

What is a Millisecond?

A millisecond (ms) is one thousandth (1/1,000) of a second. It's commonly used in computing to measure processing times and network latency. For reference, a human blink takes about 100-400 milliseconds.

What is a Nanosecond?

A nanosecond (ns) is one billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second. Modern computer processors operate at the nanosecond scale. Light travels approximately 30 centimeters (about 1 foot) in one nanosecond.
