Nanometer (nm). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, used for wavelengths of light and the size of molecules.
Meter (m). The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
There are 1 × 10⁻⁹ meters in one nanometer.
Multiply the number of nanometers by 1 × 10⁻⁹. For example, 10 nanometers equal 1 × 10⁻⁸ meters.
One meter equals 1,000,000,000 nanometers.
1 × 10⁻⁶ meters. Other common values: 100 nanometers = 1 × 10⁻⁷ meters and 10,000 nanometers = 1 × 10⁻⁵ meters.
