Nanometers to meters

1 nanometer in meters
1 nm = 1 × 10^-9 m
m = nm × 1 × 10^-9

To convert nanometers to meters, multiply by 1 × 10^-9. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works

The relationship is m = nm × 1 × 10^-9. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many meters are in one nanometer?
One nanometer equals 1 × 10^-9 meters. m = nm × 1 × 10^-9.
How do you convert nanometers to meters?
Use m = nm × 1 × 10^-9. So 10 nm is 1 × 10^-8 m.
How many nanometers are in one meter?
One meter equals 1,000,000,000 nanometers, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
