What is a picosecond used to measure?

A picosecond quantifies extremely brief time intervals, often used in measuring ultrafast lasers, electronic signal delays, and molecular dynamics.

How many seconds are in one day?

One day equals exactly 86,400 seconds, which is the basis for converting time units into days.

Why might picosecond to day conversion results be very small?

Because a picosecond is one trillionth of a second and a day is 86,400 seconds, the converted values are extremely small decimal numbers reflecting this large difference in scale.
