How to Convert Seconds to Picoseconds

To convert from seconds (s) to picoseconds (ps), you multiply the number of seconds by 1,000,000,000,000. This is because 1 second is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 picoseconds.

Formula

Picoseconds = Seconds × 1,000,000,000,000

or

ps = s × 1,000,000,000,000

Step-by-step process

  1. Take the measurement in seconds
  2. Multiply that number by 1,000,000,000,000
  3. The result is the equivalent time in picoseconds

Examples

  • 1 s = 1 × 1,000,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000 ps
  • 2 s = 2 × 1,000,000,000,000 = 2,000,000,000,000 ps

Frequently Asked Questions

How many picoseconds are in a second?

There are 1,000,000,000,000 picoseconds in one second.

What is a picosecond?

A picosecond is a unit of time equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a second. It is used in fields requiring extremely precise timing, such as ultrafast laser physics and high-speed electronics.
