What is a femtosecond?

A femtosecond is one quadrillionth of a second (10^-15 seconds), used to measure extremely rapid events.

How many seconds are in one hour?

One hour equals 3,600 seconds and represents one twenty-fourth of a mean solar day.

Why convert femtoseconds to hours?

Converting femtoseconds to hours helps relate ultrafast phenomena timescales to more familiar, human-scale time durations.
