To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10 seconds and 10 seconds (1.0 to 10 microseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.

shorter times
1.0 microsecond — cycle time for frequency 1 MHz, radio wavelength 300 m (AM mediumwave band)
1 microsecond — a high-speed, commercial strobe light flash
2 microseconds — the life time of a muonium particle
3.3 microseconds — the time taken by light to travel one kilometre in a vacuum
5.4 microseconds — the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum
longer times

v t e Orders of magnitude of time
by powers of ten
Negative powers	<1 attosecond attosecond femtosecond picosecond nanosecond microsecond millisecond
Positive powers	second kilosecond megasecond gigasecond terasecond and longer
