Orders of magnitude (time)

Orders of magnitude in the context of time refer to a way of comparing different time durations by expressing them in powers of ten. Each order of magnitude represents a tenfold increase or decrease in time. This concept helps to grasp and communicate large differences in time scales by categorizing them into manageable groups. Here are some common orders of magnitude for time: 1. **10^-9 seconds**: Nanoseconds (1 billionth of a second) 2.
