To convert nm to meters: multiply by 10⁻⁹. To convert nm to micrometers: divide by 1,000.
1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m = 10 Å = 1,000 pm = 10⁻³ µm. One micrometer equals 1,000 nanometers.
For example, 1 Nanometer (nm) = 1.000000e-27 Exameter (Em).
| Nanometer (nm) | Exameter (Em) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 | 1.000000e-28 |
| 0.5 | 5.000000e-28 |
| 1 | 1.000000e-27 |
| 2 | 2.000000e-27 |
| 5 | 5.000000e-27 |
| 10 | 1.000000e-26 |
| 25 | 2.500000e-26 |
| 50 | 5.000000e-26 |
| 100 | 1.000000e-25 |
| 500 | 5.000000e-25 |
| 1000 | 1.000000e-24 |
The nanometer is a unit of length equal to 10⁻⁹ meters, or one billionth of a meter.
1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m = 10 Å = 1,000 pm = 10⁻³ µm. One micrometer equals 1,000 nanometers.
To convert nm to meters: multiply by 10⁻⁹. To convert nm to micrometers: divide by 1,000.
Semiconductor chip feature sizes (5 nm, 3 nm transistors), UV light wavelengths, virus dimensions, and thin-film coatings.
A human hair is about 80,000–100,000 nm thick. The COVID-19 virus is approximately 100 nm in diameter.
Confusing nanometers with micrometers — they differ by a factor of 1,000. Be careful with nm vs. µm in specs.
Visible light wavelengths (380–700 nm) are a great anchor: red light ≈ 700 nm, violet light ≈ 380 nm.
The exameter is a unit of length equal to 10¹⁸ meters, or about 105.7 light-years.
1 Em = 10¹⁸ m = 1,000 Pm ≈ 105.7 light-years ≈ 32.4 parsecs.
To convert Em to light-years: multiply by 105.7. To convert Em to parsecs: multiply by 32.4.
No practical applications. Theoretical framework for expressing galactic neighborhood distances.
The Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of about 10 Em (100,000 light-years).
Em is almost never used — astronomers use parsecs or light-years. It exists only for SI completeness.
Just remember: Exa = 10¹⁸. The Milky Way is about 10 Em across for a sense of scale.
