Microsecond (µs). A microsecond is one millionth of a second.
Second (s). The second is the SI base unit of time, defined by the caesium-133 atom.
There are 1 × 10⁻⁶ seconds in one microsecond.
Multiply the number of microseconds by 1 × 10⁻⁶. For example, 10 microseconds equal 1 × 10⁻⁵ seconds.
One second equals 1,000,000 microseconds.
0.001 seconds. Other common values: 100 microseconds = 0.0001 seconds and 10,000 microseconds = 0.01 seconds.
