Understanding time units

  • Nanosecond / microsecond / millisecond — Used in computing, networking, and scientific measurement. A CPU running at 3 GHz performs about 3 billion operations per second (one every ~0.33 ns).
  • Second / minute / hour — Everyday time units for scheduling, cooking, travel, and clocks.
  • Day / week — Based on Earth's rotation (day) and the biblical/cultural 7-day week.
  • Month (average) — This converter uses 30.4375 days (365.25 ÷ 12), accounting for the average across all months including leap years.
  • Year — Uses 365.25 days to account for leap years. The exact tropical year (solar year) is 365.2422 days.
