To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10¹ seconds and 10² seconds (10 seconds and 100 seconds). See also times of other orders of magnitude.

• times shorter than 10 seconds
• 26.784 seconds = length of time the year in the Gregorian calendar is longer than Earth's tropical year.
• 30 seconds – most common length of a TV commercial in the USA
• 32.184 seconds – the amount that Terrestrial Time precedes International Atomic Time
• 60 seconds = one minute
• 86.4 seconds = 1 minute 26.4 seconds = 10^-3 days – the length of a Swatch "beat"
• 100 seconds = 1 minute 40 seconds

[edit] Half lives

• 27 seconds – half life of dubnium-261
• 30 seconds – half life of seaborgium-266
• 30 seconds – half life of ununquadium-289
• 34 seconds – half life of dubnium-262
• 61 seconds – half life of rutherfordium-261

• times longer than 100 seconds
