Time is measured by milliseconds, tenths of a second, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries.

ADDED: IN other words, all the familiar units; but for many scientific purposes working in small physical scales, the ISO unit of time is the second (abbr. "s").

The most common unit of time used in science is the second. It varies depending on the field, though. Geology and cosmology may measure time the Ba, billions of years while a spectroscopist may use fs, femtoseconds, or 10^-15s.
