About These Units
Nanosecond (ns)
A nanosecond (ns) is one billionth of a second (10⁻⁹ s). Nanoseconds measure computer processor cycles, light travel distance (1 ns = ~30 cm), RAM access times, and high-frequency electronics. Modern CPUs execute billions of operations per second, with each cycle taking nanoseconds.
Century (century)
A century equals 100 years or 10 decades. Centuries organize historical periods (19th century = 1801-1900), architectural styles, and long-term climate data. The 21st century began January 1, 2001. "Turn of the century" marks the transition between centuries.
