The microsecond was introduced in the 20th century as part of the metric system to measure very short time intervals, especially in electronics and computing.
Current Use
Microseconds are used in various fields such as computing, telecommunications, and physics to measure very brief durations, including processor speeds, signal timings, and scientific experiments.
Year
A year is the period of time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, approximately 365.25 days.
History/Origin
