Millisecond

Definition: A millisecond (symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a second.

History/origin: The millisecond is a decimal fraction of the second, derived from the SI base unit for time. The SI system was established in the mid-20th century to standardize units of measurement.

Current use: Milliseconds are commonly used in electronics, physics, and computer science to measure very short time intervals, such as CPU processing speeds, network latency, and audio sampling rates.

Second

Definition: A second (symbol: s) is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI).

History/origin: Historically, the second was defined as a fraction of the mean solar day. Today, it is defined based on the radiation frequency of a cesium-133 atom.

Current use: Seconds are a fundamental unit of time used in everyday life, science, and technology for measuring durations, frequencies, and other time-related quantities.
