A millisecond (from milli- and second; abbreviation: ms) is one thousandth of a second. To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10−3 seconds and 10−2 seconds (1 millisecond to 10 milliseconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
- shorter times
- 1 millisecond (1 ms) – cycle time for frequency 1 kHz
- 1 millisecond – duration of light for typical photo flash strobe
- 1 millisecond – repetition interval of GPS C/A PN code
- 1.000692286 milliseconds – time taken for light to travel 300 km in a vacuum
- 2 milliseconds – half life of hassium-265
- 2.27 milliseconds – cycle time for the A above middle C in music (440 Hz); if a tuning device for musical instruments generates just one tone, it is probably this tone
- 3 milliseconds – a housefly’s wing flap
- 3.4 milliseconds – half life of meitnerium-266
- 5 milliseconds – a honeybee’s wing flap
- 8 milliseconds – 1/125 of a second (125), a standard camera shutter speed
- 9 milliseconds – typical maximum seek time for a 7200rpm hard disk
- longer times
