Convert Nanosecond to Second
1 nanosecond = 1e-9 seconds (ns to s).
A nanosecond is smaller than a second — it takes 1,000,000,000 of them to make a single second. Both units describe duration, and the reverse is just as easy — one second equals 1,000,000,000 nanoseconds. The converter above does this in real time, and the reference chart lists the values that come up most often.
1 ns = 1e-9 s
How to convert Nanoseconds to Seconds
Multiply the nanosecond value by 1e-9 to get seconds.
Example: 10 nanoseconds = 1e-8 seconds.
