Pico refers to 10^-12; femto is a thousand times less, atto is a thousand times less than that, then zepto, and finally yocto at a whopping 10^-24
Pico is 10-12, googol is much larger than 1, therefore pico would be far smaller.
pico
It's pico, and it is 10-12
Micro, nano, and pico are prefixes used in the metric system to denote different powers of ten. Micro (µ) represents (10^{-6}), nano (n) represents (10^{-9}), and pico (p) represents (10^{-12}). Thus, each successive prefix indicates a factor of ten smaller than the previous one, with pico being the smallest among the three. For example, one microgram is equal to 1,000 nanograms, and one nanogram is equal to 1,000 picograms.
The pico- prefix means 10-12Examples:a 5pF capacitor has a capacity of 5 x 10-12 farads.1pm (1 pico metre) would be 1x10-12metres = 0.000000000001m - a very-very-very short distance.
pico- is a prefix that can be added to any measurement to mean divide by 1,000,000,000,000. femto- is smaller and means / 1,000,000,000,000,000. atto- is even smaller and means / 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Pico is 10-12, googol is much larger than 1, therefore pico would be far smaller.
I think you pico rather than pica. The prefix pico- represents a factor of 10-12, or 0.000 000 000 001. The next smallest prefix is femto- 10-15, or 0.000 000 000 000 001. Pico- is one step down from nano- which is 10-9, 0.000 000 001.
Yes, a pico second is a thousandth of a nano second.
The prefix pico refers to 1x10-12 of a unit.
Pico means 10-12 = 0.000000000001
In the metric system, the units atto, femto, and pico are related by their respective powers of 10. Atto is 10-18, femto is 10-15, and pico is 10-12. This means that atto is smaller than femto, which is smaller than pico.
The prefix pico means 10-12 (nano means 10-9). Even smaller are femto(10-15), atto(10-18), zepto(10-21), and yocto(10-24).
Pico (symbol p) is a prefix in the metric system denoting one trillionth.
