A millisecond (sometimes shortened to 'ms') is one thousandth of a second.

This page lists times between 10⁻³ seconds and 10⁻² seconds (1 millisecond to 10 milliseconds).

shorter times
1 millisecond – the time it takes for a normal flash in a camera to finish.
1 millisecond – time taken for sound to travel 34 cm
1.000692286 milliseconds – time taken for light to travel 300 km in a vacuum
2 milliseconds – half life of hassium-265
3 milliseconds – a housefly’s wing flap
3.4 milliseconds – half life of meitnerium-266
5 milliseconds – a honeybee’s wing flap
8 milliseconds – 1/125 of a second (125), a camera shutter speed
9 milliseconds – normal seek time for a 7200rpm hard disk
