Milliseconds to seconds

Milliseconds to seconds table

The two units

Millisecond (ms). One thousandth of a second, the usual unit for network latency.

Second (s). The SI unit of time, defined by the caesium-133 atom's hyperfine transition frequency.

Because both units are defined in terms of the same base unit, the factor 0.001 is exact, not a rounded measurement.

Questions people ask

How many seconds are in a millisecond?

0.001, exactly.

How do you convert milliseconds to seconds?

s = ms ÷ 1,000. It is the same as dividing by 1,000.

How do you convert seconds back to milliseconds?

ms = s × 1,000. See seconds to milliseconds.
