Seconds to Microseconds Conversion
Enter the time in seconds below to get the value converted to microseconds.
How to Convert Seconds to Microseconds
To convert a second measurement to a microsecond measurement, multiply the time by the conversion ratio.
Since one second is equal to 1,000,000 microseconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The time in microseconds is equal to the seconds multiplied by 1,000,000.
How Many Microseconds are in a Second?
There are 1,000,000 microseconds in a second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 sec = 1,000,000 µs
Seconds and microseconds are both units used to measure time. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Seconds
The second has historically been defined as 1/60 of a minute or 1/86,400 of a day. According the to SI definition, the second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the unperturbed ground state of the caesium 133 atom.[1]
The second is the SI base unit for time in the metric system. Seconds can be abbreviated as sec; for example, 1 second can be written as 1 sec.
Microseconds
The microsecond is a multiple of the second, which is the SI base unit for time. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for 10-6. Microseconds can be abbreviated as µs; for example, 1 microsecond can be written as 1 µs.
