To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 100 seconds and 101 seconds (1 second and 10 seconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.
- shorter times
- 1 second – the second is the metric standard unit for time; approximately the same as a human cardiac cycle (waking at rest)
- 1 second; the amount of time it takes light in a vacuum to travel 299,792,458 metres or approximately 300,000 km (~186,282 miles)
- 1.2096 seconds – a VMS microfortnight
- 1.26 seconds – approximate time it takes light to travel between Earth and the Moon
- 3.16 seconds– one thousand-millionth (10-9) of a century. Its closeness to π in value leads to the expression "Pi seconds is a nanocentury".
- 9.74 seconds – world record for the men's 100 m sprint event (Asafa Powell, 2007)
- longer times
