Milliseconds
A millisecond is one-thousandth of a second. This unit of time is often used in contexts where precision is necessary, such as in computer processing, where tasks are completed in milliseconds. It’s also used in measuring the time it takes for high-speed events to occur, like the shutter speed of a camera or the delay in an online game. Milliseconds help us understand and measure processes that are too fast for the human eye to perceive.
Nanoseconds
A nanosecond is one-billionth of a second, a unit of time used in highly precise scientific and technological applications. Nanoseconds are essential in fields like quantum computing, high-speed electronics, and particle physics. They help measure and manage processes that happen at incredibly fast speeds, such as the transmission of data in computer networks.
