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. Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Gigameter (Gm), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1e-18 Gigameter (Gm)
1 Gigameter (Gm) = 1000000000000000000 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1e-18 Gm = 1e-18 Gm
10 nm = 10 * 1e-18 Gm = 1e-17 Gm
100 nm = 100 * 1e-18 Gm = 1.0000000000000001e-16 Gm
500 nm = 500 * 1e-18 Gm = 5e-16 Gm
| Nanometer (nm) | Gigameter (Gm) |
|---|---|
| 1 nm | 1e-18 Gm |
| 5 nm | 5e-18 Gm |
| 10 nm | 1e-17 Gm |
| 50 nm | 5.0000000000000005e-17 Gm |
| 100 nm | 1.0000000000000001e-16 Gm |
| 500 nm | 5e-16 Gm |
