how long is ONE MOMENT?

a moment can be anywhere from a few seconds, up to a minute. generally, a moment is defined as a point in time lasting from 1-3 seconds.

in Old English, a moment was an exact measurement of time being 1.5 seconds or 1/40th of one minute. however, in more modern English usage it has simply meant an inexact and brief length of time.
