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
