A millisecond (from milli- and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10ā3 or 1/1000) of a second[1][2] and to 1000 microseconds.
A unit of 10 milliseconds may be called a centisecond, and one of 100 milliseconds a decisecond, but these names are rarely used.[3] To help compare orders of magnitude of different times, this page lists times between 10ā3 seconds and 100 seconds (1 millisecond and one second). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
