A '''microsecond''' is a unit of [[time]] in the [[International System of Units]] (SI) equal to one [[millionth]] (0.000001 or 10<sup>−6</sup> or {{frac|1|1,000,000}}) of a [[second]]. Its symbol is '''μs''', sometimes simplified to '''us''' when [[Unicode]] is not available. |

A microsecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 11.57 days. |

A microsecond is equal to 1000 [[nanosecond]]s or {{frac|1|1,000}} of a [[millisecond]]. Because the next [[Metric prefix|SI prefix]] is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10<sup>−5</sup> and 10<sup>−4</sup> seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of microseconds. |
