Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick. The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Fathom (ftm), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 5.46806649168854e-10 Fathom (ftm)
1 Fathom (ftm) = 1828799999.9999998 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 5.46806649168854e-10 ftm = 5.46806649168854e-10 ftm
10 nm = 10 * 5.46806649168854e-10 ftm = 5.46806649168854e-9 ftm
100 nm = 100 * 5.46806649168854e-10 ftm = 5.4680664916885396e-8 ftm
500 nm = 500 * 5.46806649168854e-10 ftm = 2.73403324584427e-7 ftm
