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 Rod (or pole/perch) was historically used in land surveying and agriculture. Measuring exactly 16.5 feet, rods were commonly used to define property boundaries. A standard American football field is 320 rods long (including end zones). This unit still appears in some property deeds and agricultural measurements.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Rod (rd), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1.9883878151594687e-10 Rod (rd)
1 Rod (rd) = 5029200000 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1.9883878151594687e-10 rd = 1.9883878151594687e-10 rd
10 nm = 10 * 1.9883878151594687e-10 rd = 1.9883878151594687e-9 rd
100 nm = 100 * 1.9883878151594687e-10 rd = 1.9883878151594686e-8 rd
500 nm = 500 * 1.9883878151594687e-10 rd = 9.941939075797344e-8 rd
