a picosecond, 1 second x 10^-12
A picosecond is one-trillionth of a second. It is also one-thousandth of a nanosecond. As such there are 0.000000000001 (or 10-12) seconds in a picosecond.
One trillion. (10^-12) 1,000,000,000,000
picosecond
A nano second. It is 1000 times larger than a picosecond
One billion. 1 millisecond = 1/1000th of a second. 1 microsecond = 1/1,000,000 of a second. 1 nanosecond = 1,000,000,000 of a second. 1 picosecond = 1,000,000,000,000. 1000 x 1,000,000,000 = 1 trillion. 1 picosecond is a trillionth of a second.
A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. (10^-12). Or one thousandth of a nanosecond.
picosecond
1 picosecond = 10-12 second1 millisecond = 10-3 second = (10-3 / 10-12) = 109 picoseconds
1 picosecond = 1*10-12 seconds (a trillionth)
' picosecond ' = 10-12 second

A picosecond is 10−12 of a second. That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds. A picosecond is to one second as one second is to 31,700 years.The name is formed by the SI prefix pico and the SI unit second. It is abbreviated as ps.One picosecond is equal to 1000 femtoseconds, or 1/1000 nanosecond. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10−11 and 10−10 second are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of picoseconds. Some notable measurements in this range include
A Picosecond is 1/1012 one tenth of a second to the 12th power). Which is the next smallest unit of time from the Nanosecond 1/109 (one tenth of a second to the 9th power), and next larger to the Femtosecond 1/1015 (one tenth of a second to the 15th power)
it is Millisecond(One thousandth of a second) Microsecond(One millionth of a second) Nanosecond(One billionth of a second) Picosecond(One trillionth of a second)
A second! 1 = Ten tenths = Hundred hundredths = Thousand thousandths etc. A millionth of a millionth of a second, or 1/(1million x 1 million) seconds, is called a picosecond. 1/(1 million) seconds, or one millionth of a second, is called a microsecond. 1/(1000 x 1million) seconds, or one thousandth of a microsecond, is called a nanosecond.
Picosecond lasers have a variety of uses. Some of the most common uses for picosecond lasers are in the medical field in such procedures as laser eye surgery and tattoo removal.
