To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10⁻⁶ seconds (1 microsecond) and 10⁻⁵ seconds (10 microseconds). A microsecond (abbreviated as μs) is one millionth of a second. See also times of other orders of magnitude.

• shorter times
• 1 microsecond (1 μsec) – cycle time for frequency 1 MHz, radio wavelength 300 m (AM mediumwave band)
• 1 microsecond – the length of time of a high-speed, commercial strobe light flash
• 2 microseconds – the life time of a muonium particle
• 2.68 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth Day as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
• 3.33564095 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one kilometer in a vacuum
• 4.63 microseconds – a fifth (a 60th of a 60th of a 60th of a second)
• 5.4 microseconds – the time taken by light to travel one mile in a vacuum
• longer times
