To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10⁻⁹ seconds and 10⁻⁸ seconds (1 nanosecond and 10 nanoseconds) See also times of other orders of magnitude. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second (10⁻⁹).

• shorter times
• 1 nanosecond
• 1.0 ns -- cycle time for frequency 1 GHz, radio wavelength 0.3 m
• 1.02 ns (approx.) -- time taken for light to travel 1 foot
• 3.3 ns (approx.) -- the time it takes a common 3.0 GHz computer CPU to add two integers
• 3.33564095 ns (approx.) -- time taken for light to travel 1 metre
• 10 nanoseconds
• longer times

10 nanoseconds is sometimes referred to as a shake - as in a "shake of a lamb's tail".
