Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between meters and nanometers.
What is a meter (m)?
A meter is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for meter is m. There are 0.000000001 meters in a nanometer. The International spelling for this unit is metre.
What is a nanometer (nm)?
A nanometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for nanometer is nm. There are 1,000,000,000 nanometers in a meter. The International spelling for this unit is nanometre.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from m to nm is:
nm = m x 1,000,000,000
