What does one attosecond represent?

An attosecond is one quintillionth (10^-18) of a second used to measure ultrafast processes such as electron dynamics.

Why use Julian years for time conversion?

Julian years provide a fixed, standardized unit of 365.25 days used in astronomy for consistent reporting of long-term intervals.

Are the converted values easy to interpret?

Because attoseconds are extremely short compared to a Julian year, results are very small and usually expressed in scientific notation.
