The [[word]] nanosecond is formed by the prefix nano and the [[unit]] second. Its [[symbol]] is ns.

A nanosecond is equal to 1000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picosecond picoseconds] or 1/1000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsecond microsecond]. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, times of 10-8 and 10-7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds.
