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 Kilometer (km) is used for longer distances like city-to-city travel (e.g., 50 km), marathon races (42.195 km), or highway spans (e.g., 100 km). It's also used in aviation and sports like cycling.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Kilometer (km), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1e-12 Kilometer (km)
1 Kilometer (km) = 999999999999.9999 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1e-12 km = 1e-12 km
10 nm = 10 * 1e-12 km = 1e-11 km
100 nm = 100 * 1e-12 km = 1e-10 km
500 nm = 500 * 1e-12 km = 5e-10 km
| Nanometer (nm) | Kilometer (km) |
|---|---|
| 1 nm | 1e-12 km |
| 5 nm | 5e-12 km |
| 10 nm | 1e-11 km |
| 50 nm | 5e-11 km |
| 100 nm | 1e-10 km |
| 500 nm | 5e-10 km |
