what is a nano second ?

Question

is a nano second a shorter space of time than a moment

Answer 1

It is one divided by 1,000,000,000 seconds.

Answer 2

One tenth of a second can be called a decisecond.

One hundreth of a second can be called a centisecond.

One thousandth of a second is called a millisecond.

One millionth of a second is called a microsecond.

In the US of A and in Canada, where the word "billion" means a thousand millions, a billionth of a second is called a nanosecond. In most of the rest of the world, where the word 'billion' doesn't mean a thousand millions, but means a million millions, the word 'nanosecond' means a thousandth of a millionth of a second, and the word for a billionth of a second is a picosecond.

Answer 3

1 nano second = 10 ^ -9 seconds ( nano is 9)

Answer 4

One nano second = One billionth of a second

Answer 5

nano second is faster than a second. It is so fast that 1 blink is equal to 10000 nano second.

Answer 6

one billionth of a second (10^-9 seconds)

A 'moment' is not defined as a standard unit of time, so no one can say if one is shorter than the other.

As a side note: a "shake" is defined in the nuclear weapon industry as 10 nanoseconds.

Answer 7

A nanosecond represents one billionth of a second.

Answer 8

a moment is not defined properly but we take it to be infinitly small
1nano second=10^-9 second

Answer 9

a nanosecond is a one billionth of a second.
0.000000001 second

Answer 10

nano second = .000001 seconds It's a real measure of time.
