Micrometre to Nanometre Converter

What is a Micrometre?

A micrometre is a metric unit of length equal to one millionth of a metre, used in precision engineering.

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 micrometre to nanometre, use the formula:

    nanometre = micrometre × (0.000001 / 1e-9)

Which simplifies to:

    1 micrometre = 1.000000e+3 nanometre

To convert from nanometre to micrometre, use:

    micrometre = nanometre × (1e-9 / 0.000001)

Which simplifies to:

    1 nanometre = 1.000000e-3 micrometre

This formula works by converting Micrometre 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 Micrometre to Nanometre:
10 × (0.000001 ÷ 1e-9) = 1.000000e+4 nanometre
