Common time units

Minute (min)

Definition: A minute is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds.

History/origin: The minute comes from the ancient sexagesimal time system inherited from Babylonian mathematics and later used in astronomy and civil timekeeping.

Current use: Minutes are used everywhere for schedules, durations, cooking, transport times, and appointments.

Microsecond (µs)

Definition: The microsecond is a short metric time interval equal to 10^-6 seconds, meaning one million microseconds make one second.

History/origin: As electronics and computing moved beyond human-scale timing, µs gave engineers a practical unit between milliseconds and nanoseconds.

Current use: µs appears in microcontroller code, sensor sampling, audio latency, serial communication, robotics control loops, camera shutters, and signal-processing specs.
