==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Megaseconds''' ('''Ms''') are a [[unit]] of [[time]] 1,000,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Second]].
===About Megaseconds===
: '''Megaseconds''' are shortened to '''Ms''' with an upper case M and an upper case '''s'''.
: [[Mega]] means one million so there are 1,000,000 [[Second]]s in a [[megasecond]].
