A Nanosecond
Examples: -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond -- attosecond
A nanosecond
1 nanosecond = 10-9 sec = 0.000000001 sec = 1 billionth of a sec. (Roughly the time it takes light/radio to travel one foot.)
A nanosecond is one billionth of a second. In the long form, it is 0.000000001 seconds. As an equation, it is written as 10-9 s.
A nanosecond is shorter than a microsecond. There are one thousand nanoseconds in a microsecond.
A Nanosecond
A nanosecond is faster than a millisecond. One millisecond is equal to 1,000,000 nanoseconds.
Examples: -- picosecond -- femtosecond -- yoctosecond -- attosecond
An attosecond is one quintillionth (10 to the power of minus 18) of a second. As of 2006, the smallest unit of time that was directly measured was on the order of 1 attosecond (10−18 s), or about 1026 Planck times. In physics, the Planck time, (tP), is the unit of time in the system of natural units known as Planck units. It is the time required for light to travel, in a vacuum, a distance of 1 Planck length. The unit is named after Max Planck, who was the first to propose it.

1 nanosecond is 1 billionth of a second. i.e. 1 nanosecond = 10−9 seconds.
A nanosecond is smaller than a microsecond. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, while a microsecond is one millionth of a second.
