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 Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters).
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Meter (m), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1e-9 Meter (m)
1 Meter (m) = 999999999.9999999 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1e-9 m = 1e-9 m
10 nm = 10 * 1e-9 m = 1e-8 m
100 nm = 100 * 1e-9 m = 1.0000000000000001e-7 m
500 nm = 500 * 1e-9 m = 5.000000000000001e-7 m
| Nanometer (nm) | Meter (m) |
|---|---|
| 1 nm | 1e-9 m |
| 5 nm | 5e-9 m |
| 10 nm | 1e-8 m |
| 50 nm | 5.0000000000000004e-8 m |
| 100 nm | 1.0000000000000001e-7 m |
| 500 nm | 5.000000000000001e-7 m |
