Second

"Second" is a unit of time measurement equal to one sixtieth of a minute or 1/3,600 of an hour. It's a standard way to quantify moments, durations, or intervals in everyday life, science, and technology. For example, a runner might finish a race in 12 seconds, or a computer processes a task in a few seconds. The second helps us precisely describe and compare how long events last or occur. It’s a fundamental building block of timekeeping, ensuring our clocks, schedules, and timing systems are consistent and accurate worldwide.
