To help compare orders of magnitude of different times this page lists times between 10² seconds and 10³ seconds (100 seconds to 16.7 minutes). See also times of other orders of magnitude.

• Times shorter than 100 seconds
• 100 seconds – 1 minute 40 seconds (or 1.7 minutes)
• 102 seconds – 1.7 minutes – half-life of nobelium-253
• 180 seconds – 3 minutes – approximate time for cooking instant noodles and boiling an egg
• 315 seconds (5.3 minutes, or 10^-5 years) after the Big Bang – first nuclei form
• 500 seconds – 8.3 minutes – approximate time it takes light to travel between earth and the sun
• 660 seconds – 11 minutes – duration of a 1000-foot reel of 35mm motion picture film
• 886 seconds – 14.8 minutes – half-life of a free neutron
• 1000 seconds – 16.7 minutes
• Times longer than 1000 seconds (16.7 minutes)
