A nanometer is a unit used to measure length.
The nanometer, or nanometre, is a multiple of the meter, which is the SI base unit for length. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for billionths, or 10-9. Nanometers can be abbreviated as nm; for example, 1 nanometer can be written as 1 nm.
The nanometer is an extremely small unit of length measurement, often used to measure things that are very small, such as the transistors and electrical pathways in computer processors and nanotechnology.
How Long Is a Nanometer?
One nanometer is equal to one-billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a meter, which is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in a 1/299,792,458 second time interval.
How to Convert Nanometers
To convert nanometers to another unit of length, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]
You can find the conversion factors for nanometers in the conversion table below.
Then, multiply the length measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.
nanometers × conversion factor = result
You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
