Here's a table showing time units from shortest to longest, including zeptoseconds and Planck time: [1]
| Unit | Description | Scientific Notation (Seconds) |
|---|---|---|
| Planck Time | The shortest time interval that is physically meaningful. | ~10^-44 |
| Yoctosecond | One septillionth of a second (10^-24 s) | 10^-24 |
| Zeptosecond | One sextillionth of a second (10^-21 s) | 10^-21 |
| Attosecond | One quintillionth of a second (10^-18 s) | 10^-18 |
| Femtosecond | One quadrillionth of a second (10^-15 s) | 10^-15 |
| Picosecond | One trillionth of a second (10^-12 s) | 10^-12 |
| Nanosecond | One billionth of a second (10^-9 s) | 10^-9 |
| Microsecond | One millionth of a second (10^-6 s) | 10^-6 |
| Millisecond | One thousandth of a second (10^-3 s) | 10^-3 |
| Second | The fundamental unit of time | 1 |
| Minute | 60 seconds | 60 |
| Hour | 60 minutes (3600 seconds) | 3600 |
| Day | 24 hours (86400 seconds) | 86400 |
| Week | 7 days (604800 seconds) | 604800 |
| Month | Approximately 30 days (2.628 million seconds) | 2.628 x 10^6 |
| Year | Approximately 365 days (31.536 million seconds) | 3.1536 x 10^7 |
| Decade | 10 years (3.1536 x 10^8 seconds) | 3.1536 x 10^8 |
| Century | 100 years (3.1536 x 10^9 seconds) | 3.1536 x 10^9 |
| Millennium | 1000 years (3.1536 x 10^10 seconds) | 3.1536 x 10^10 |
| Age of the Earth | Approximately 4.54 billion years (1.43 x 10^16 seconds) | 1.43 x 10^16 |
| Age of the Universe | Approximately 13.8 billion years (4.35 x 10^16 seconds) |
The shortest time unit measured to date is the zeptosecond, which is 10^-21 seconds. While there are theoretical units shorter than a zeptosecond, such as the yoctosecond (10^-24 seconds), they are not currently measurable. The Planck time, approximately 5.39 x 10^-44 seconds, is considered the theoretical shortest unit of time, representing the time it takes light to travel one Planck length. So, in order from shortest to longest time unit, it would be: zeptosecond, yoctosecond, Planck time.
