Answer 5

@Itsscheyyy Okay well you can measure time by eras, or by events in time, or by grouping the amounts of time that share a likeness in one group and adding them up and then following through for each. Is there a specific question you are being asked? Like, for what class is this?

Answer 6

1. There are 1000 milsec in sec
2.There are 60 sec in a minute
3. There are 60min in an hour
4. There are 24 hours in one day
5. There are 30 days in one month
ect...
That's all i got.

Answer 9

@Itsscheyyy You may have more luck asking in the science section but yes. eras, and basic measures of time(i.e. seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, eons, decades, etc.) there are none that I know of. But I would go ahead and ask in the science section. They might have what you are looking for :)

If it's for science your teacher will love this.
We measure time in one way only!
One second the duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom. All other measurements are scalar multiples of this time.
