I was not aware that they were similar except that they are both elements of dynamics.

The length an object moves through its motion is distance. Elapsed time is the time it takes for the motion of an object to occur.
Distance = Rate x Time Rate = Distance/Time, not Time/Distance
Generally: RATE = DISTANCE / TIME -or- DISTANCE = RATE * TIME -or- TIME = DISTANCE / RATE qed
It takes about 11,574.1 days for one billion seconds to elapse. This is equal to 31. 7 years based on the fact that a single day has 86,400 seconds.
Average speed during the time = (distance) divided by (time for that distance)
When looking at a distance vs. time graph, it shows how far an object is traveling over a certain amount of time which can be written like this: distance per time or distance/time (distance divided by time) If we then put units in for distance (let's say meters) and time (seconds) we get this: meters/seconds which is the same as the units for speed.
