What is a nanometre?

A nanometre is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a metre, used in nanotechnology.

Conversion Formula

To convert from kilometre to nanometre, use the formula:

    nanometre = kilometre × (1000 / 1e-9)

Which simplifies to:

    1 kilometre = 1.000000e+12 nanometre

To convert from nanometre to kilometre, use:

    kilometre = nanometre × (1e-9 / 1000)

Which simplifies to:

    1 nanometre = 1.000000e-12 kilometre

This formula works by converting kilometre into meters as the base unit, then converting that result into nanometre. It's a two-step, accurate method based on SI units.

\ Example: Convert 10 kilometre to nanometre:
10 × (1000 ÷ 1e-9) = 1.000000e+13 nanometre
