One millionth of a second is called a microsecond (as can be found at College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Boston University http://www.cs.bu.edu/faculty/snyder/cs210/Units.htm). There is some conjecture that the correct answer to this question could also be a billisecond (in that in Imperial Measure milli means one thousandth and billi means one millionth).

Too short! But a nanosecond is one billionth of a second.

---------------------------

Writing one-millionth as an exponent, we have:

10-6 x 10-6 = 10-12

which is one-trillionth. Such a fraction of a second would be a "picosecond."

A nanosecond, or one-billionth of a second, is 10-9 seconds.
