What is Nanosecond?
A '''nanosecond''' ('''ns''') is one billionth of a [[second]]. It is equal to 10<sup>−9</sup> seconds. One nanosecond contains 1000 [[picosecond]]s. 1000 nanoseconds is equal to one [[microsecond]]. Ten nanoseconds are sometimes called a shake. Some things that take between one nanosecond and ten nanoseconds are listed below * [[Speed of light|Light]] travels about 29.9&nbsp;[[centimeter]]s in 1 nanosecond. That is 3.33564095 nanoseconds to move 1 [[meter]]. * It takes a [[fusion reaction]] between 20 and 40 nanoseconds to finish in a [[hydrogen bomb]]. * It takes a [[nuclear reaction]] 10 nanoseconds to finish one generation with fast [[neutrons]]. * The [[Half-life (element)|half-life]] of a [[Kaon|K meson]] is 12 nanoseconds. {{Ordersofmagnitudeseconds}} [[Category:Units of time]] [[Category:Orders of magnitude]] {{math-stub}}
