Smaller than a femtosecond (10^-15 seconds) are time intervals measured in attoseconds (10^-18 seconds) and zeptoseconds (10^-21 seconds). These units are often used in fields like ultrafast physics to study rapid processes such as electron movements in atoms and molecular interactions. While femtoseconds are commonly associated with light wave cycles, attoseconds allow scientists to observe phenomena at even shorter timescales.
Units of time widely used in Physics and other branches of science and engineering include: -- millisecond -- microsecond -- nanosecond -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond
Examples: -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond -- attosecond
No, a terasecond is not the smallest unit of time. In fact, a terasecond is equal to (10^{12}) seconds, which is quite large in comparison to smaller units like the picosecond ((10^{-12}) seconds) and the femtosecond ((10^{-15}) seconds). Therefore, there are many smaller units of time than a terasecond.
A femtosecond is 1000th of a picosecond.
A centimeter is smaller than a meter
Attosecond
Units of time widely used in Physics and other branches of science and engineering include: -- millisecond -- microsecond -- nanosecond -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond
A femtosecond is one billionth of one millionth of a second.
Examples: -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond -- attosecond

I could write 1 femtosecond as "1 femtosecond" : not a zero in sight. or as 0.000001 nanoseconds (6 zeros) or .000001 nanoseconds (5 zeros) 1 fs = 10-15 seconds so there are 14 0s between the decimal point and the 1.
A femtosecond is 1000th of a picosecond.
