Time conversion is essential in science, engineering, programming, project management, and everyday life. Different contexts use different units — from nanoseconds in computing to years in astronomy.
The second is the SI base unit of time, defined by 9,192,631,770 periods of cesium-133 atom radiation. All other time units derive from seconds.
This tool uses the Julian year (365.25 days) for year-based calculations, which averages leap years. A month is calculated as 1/12 of a year (≈30.4375 days).
In computing, milliseconds (ms) measure latency, microseconds (μs) measure CPU operations, and nanoseconds (ns) measure memory access. Understanding these scales is crucial for optimization.
