How to convert centimeters to nanometers
1 centimeter is equal to 10,000,000 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 1 × 10⁻⁷ centimeters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = centimeters × 10,000,000
nanometers = centimeters ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁷Example: convert 1 cm to nm: 1 × 10,000,000 = 10,000,000 nm.

About the centimeter
A centimeter is one hundredth of a meter. It's widely used for body height, clothing sizes, rulers and everyday objects.
Symbol: cm · 1 cm = 0.01 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
Symbol: nm · 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m · Category: Metric (SI)
