The second (s) is the base unit of time in the International System of Units, defined by the vibration frequency of cesium-133 atoms. It serves as the foundation for all time measurements, from clocks and watches to GPS satellites and atomic physics. One second equals exactly 1,000 milliseconds and is divided into 60 seconds per minute.
