Convert second to picosecond
Please provide values below to convert second [s] to picosecond [ps], or Convert picosecond to second.
1 s = 1e+12 ps. To convert second to picosecond, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ps = 1.0000e-12 s). Both units measure time and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 s = 1e+12 ps
- 1 ps = 1.0000e-12 s
- 10 s = 1.0000e+13 ps
- 100 s = 1.0000e+14 ps
How to Convert Second to Picosecond
1 s = 1000000000000 ps
Example: convert 15 s to ps:
15 s = 15 × 1000000000000 ps = 15000000000000 ps

Second
The second (symbol: s) is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), used to measure durations and intervals.
History/Origin
The second was originally defined as 1/86400 of a mean solar day. It was later redefined in 1967 based on atomic properties, specifically as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the cesium-133 atom.
Current Use
The second is universally used in science, technology, and everyday life to quantify time intervals, synchronize clocks, and coordinate activities across various fields.
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.
