Understanding the Units
* Planck Time: The smallest unit of time that has physical meaning, approximately 5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds.
* Yottasecond: A unit of time equal to 10²⁴ seconds.
Calculation
1. Divide the yottasecond by the Planck time:
(1 yottasecond) / (5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds) = (10²⁴ seconds) / (5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds)
2. Simplify the expression:
= 1.85 × 10⁶⁸
Answer: There are approximately 1.85 × 10⁶⁸ Planck times in a yottasecond.
