Orders of magnitude (time)

An order of magnitude describes the link between two amounts. The difference between each amount step is usually 10, with each order being either 10 times greater or 10 times smaller than the next amount. This makes the scale easy to manipulate using logarithms. For time, the difference between the smallest limit of time, the Planck time, and the next order of magnitude is larger than 10. A second is 60 t, a minute is 60 s, a hour is 60 min, a day is 24 hour, a week is 7 days, a month is 4 weeks, a year is 12 months, a millennium is 1000 years, etc...
