A unit smaller than a second on a stopwatch is a millisecond. One millisecond is one-thousandth of a second (1/1,000), making it a common unit for measuring shorter time intervals in various contexts, including sports timing and scientific experiments. Some stopwatches can even measure time in microseconds, which are one-millionth of a second.

What unit of time is smaller than a second?
The unit of time that is smaller than a second is a millisecond. A millisecond is equal to one thousandth of a second, making it a smaller unit of time measurement. It is commonly used in various fields such as computing, physics, and engineering where precise measurements of time are required.
What is the metric unit for a stopwatch?
There are many things about a stopwatch that you can measure.You might want to know the mass, weight, diameter, thickness,temperature, conductivity, or cost of the stopwatch, and they allhave different units.Of course, the stopwatch itself measures time, and the unit of THATis the second, in both SI and US Customary units.
Is each si unit ten times smaller than the next smallest unit?
No, it cannot be smaller than a smaller unit!
Is second smallest unit of time?
No the second is broken down into smaller intervals of time.
Are you converting from a smaller to larger unit or larger to smaller unit converting millimeters to meter?
You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
