time interval
Span between moments
A time interval is the duration between two points in time, or simply a measured stretch of time.
It specifies how long something lasts rather than when it occurs.
The time interval between doses should be at least four hours.
In scientific and technical contexts, time intervals are measured precisely; in everyday use, the phrase often appears in discussions of scheduling, pacing, or the gaps between events.
