Nanometers to meters Conversion
1 nanometers (nm) is equal to 0.000000001 meters (m).
1 nm = 0.000000001 m
or
1 m = 1000000000 nm
Formula
To convert a length from nanometers (nm) to meters (m), divide the length in nanometers by 1000000000
l(m) = l(nm) / 1000000000
Examples:
Convert 20 nanometers to meters:
l(m) = 20nm / 1000000000 = 0.00000002 m

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert nanometers to meters?
Divide the value in nanometers by 1000000000 to get the result in meters. For example, 5 nm ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9 m.
How many meters are in 1 nanometers?
1 nanometers (nm) is equal to 1e-9 meters (m).
How do I convert meters back to nanometers?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in meters by 1000000000 to get the result in nanometers.
How accurate is the nanometers to meters conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000000000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
