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 Nautical Mile is used for global navigation, equaling one minute of latitude (about 1.15 statute miles). Commercial airliners cruise at altitudes of 35,000-40,000 feet (about 6 nautical miles). Modern nautical charts still use this measurement, and international maritime law specifies territorial waters in nautical miles.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Nautical Mile (nmi), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 5.399568034557235e-13 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 1852000000000 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 5.399568034557235e-13 nmi = 5.399568034557235e-13 nmi
10 nm = 10 * 5.399568034557235e-13 nmi = 5.399568034557236e-12 nmi
100 nm = 100 * 5.399568034557235e-13 nmi = 5.399568034557235e-11 nmi
500 nm = 500 * 5.399568034557235e-13 nmi = 2.6997840172786174e-10 nmi
