System response times
| Milliseconds (ms) | Seconds (s) | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ms | 0.001 s | System response |
| 16.67 ms | 0.01667 s | 60 FPS frame time |
| 100 ms | 0.1 s | Network latency |
| 500 ms | 0.5 s | Half second |
| 1000 ms | 1.0 s | One second |
| 5000 ms | 5.0 s | Timeout duration |
There are exactly 1,000 milliseconds in one second. The prefix "milli" means one thousandth (1/1000).
Milliseconds provide precise timing for animations, timeouts, performance measurements, and real-time applications where accuracy is crucial.
60 frames per second means each frame takes approximately 16.67 milliseconds (1000ms ÷ 60 frames = 16.67ms per frame).
Modern systems can measure time in microseconds (μs) and nanoseconds (ns), but milliseconds are sufficient for most applications and human perception.
