In this article I will show you how to convert 20 seconds into nanoseconds. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 20 s to ns. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Seconds to Nanoseconds
A second is greater than a nanosecond. I know that a s is greater than a ns because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 20 seconds into nanoseconds, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for s to ns is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 20 s to ns by multiplying 1000000000 by the number of seconds we have, which is 20.
So, the answer to the question "what is 20 seconds in nanoseconds?" is 20000000000 ns.
Seconds to Nanoseconds Conversion Table
Below is a sample conversion table for s to ns:
| Seconds (s) | Nanoseconds (ns) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 | 10000000 |
| 0.1 | 100000000 |
| 1 | 1000000000 |
| 2 | 2000000000 |
| 3 | 3000000000 |
| 5 | 5000000000 |
| 10 | 10000000000 |
| 20 | 20000000000 |
| 50 | 50000000000 |
| 100 | 100000000000 |
| 1000 | 1000000000000 |
Best Conversion Unit for 20 s
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 20 s.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 20 s is seconds and the amount is 20 s.
