About these units
Millisecond
The millisecond (one thousandth of a second) became practically relevant with the development of precision instruments and digital electronics in the 20th century. Network engineers, audiophiles, and sprinting records routinely use milliseconds.
Second
The second is the SI base unit of time, making it the reference for all derived time units. Dividing by 1000 to convert from milliseconds is exact and straightforward.
