The pages linked in the right-hand column contain lists of times that are of the same order of magnitude (power of ten). Rows in the table represent increasing powers of a thousand (3 orders of magnitude)

Note: Planck time, the shortest physically meaningful instant of time, is approximately 5.4 x 10-44 s.

Orders of magnitudeAn order of magnitude is the class of bigness, the class of size, the class of magnitude, of any amount, where each separate class contains ten times larger amounts than the one before. It is generally used to make very approximate comparisons.
