Answer:
This tradition dates back to the Babylonian. In science, a second is the time it takes for a caesium atom to vibrate 9,192,631,770 (around 9 billion) times. Scientists measure the second this way because the length of a day changes all the time. ... This atomic second is also called the SI second.
