Convert picosecond to nanosecond
Please provide values below to convert picosecond [ps] to nanosecond [ns], or Convert nanosecond to picosecond.
1 ps = 0.001 ns. To convert picosecond to nanosecond, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ns = 1000 ps). Both units measure time and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ps = 0.001 ns
- 1 ns = 1000 ps
- 10 ps = 0.01 ns
- 100 ps = 0.1 ns
How to Convert Picosecond to Nanosecond
1 ps = 0.001 ns
Example: convert 15 ps to ns:
15 ps = 15 × 0.001 ns = 0.015 ns

Picosecond
A picosecond is a unit of time equal to one trillionth of a second (10^-12 seconds).
History/Origin
The picosecond was introduced as a standard unit of time measurement in the 20th century, primarily used in physics and electronics to measure extremely short time intervals, especially in laser science and high-speed electronics.
Current Use
Picoseconds are used in fields such as physics, telecommunications, and electronics to measure ultrafast processes, signal delays, and the duration of events at the atomic and subatomic levels.
Nanosecond
A nanosecond is a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (10^-9 seconds).
History/Origin
The concept of the nanosecond emerged with the development of high-precision time measurement in the 20th century, particularly with advancements in electronics and computing technology that required measuring extremely short time intervals.
Current Use
Nanoseconds are used in various fields such as computing (e.g., measuring processor speeds and memory access times), telecommunications, and scientific research to quantify very short durations.
Frequently Asked Questions
