Nanometers to Meters Converter
Use our nanometers to meters converter to convert nm to m instantly. Learn how to convert nanometers to meters using the nm conversion to m formula, with examples and a quick conversion chart.
What is Nanometers to Meters Conversion?
Nanometers (nm) and meters (m) are both metric units of length. A nanometer is extremely small and is commonly used for wavelengths of light, microscopy, and nanotechnology. A meter is the base unit of length in the metric system.
Nanometers to meters conversion converts nm to m by scaling down from a very small unit to a larger one. If you’re wondering how many nm in one meter, the answer is 1,000,000,000 (one billion) nanometers in 1 meter.
This nm to m converter helps you do nm to m convert calculations quickly without manual scientific notation.
Nanometers to Meters Formula
To convert nm to m, divide nanometers by 1,000,000,000 (10^9). This is the standard nm conversion to m equation. For the reverse conversion, multiply meters by 1,000,000,000.
This is the nm to m formula. Because 1 m = 1,000,000,000 nm.
Use this for the reverse conversion.
So there are one billion nanometers in one meter.
So 500 nm equals 5×10⁻⁷ meters.
