Convert Seconds to Nanoseconds

Seconds → Nanoseconds
s × 1000000000 = ns ns × 0.000000001 = s

To convert seconds (s) to nanoseconds (ns), multiply the seconds value by 1000000000. 1 s = 1000000000 ns, and 1 ns = 0.000000001 s. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert ns to s.
