Nanometers (nm) - Length / Distance Conversions
A nanometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for nanometer is nm and the International spelling for this unit is nanometre.
The base unit for a nanometer is meter and the prefix is nano. The prefix nano means one billionth and is symbolized as n in the Metric System. Nano denotes a factor of one billionth (10-9) which means that there are 1,000,000,000 nanometers in a meter.
