==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Microseconds''' ('''µs''') are a [[unit]] of [[time]] 1,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Second]].
===About Microseconds===
: '''Microseconds''' are shortened to '''µs''' with the Greek letter µ and and an upper case '''s'''.
: [[Micro]] means one millionth so there are 1,000,000 [[microsecond]]s in a [[Second]].
