How to convert chains to nanometers
1 chain is equal to 20,116,800,000 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 4.970969538 × 10⁻¹¹ chains. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = chains × 20,116,800,000
nanometers = chains ÷ 4.970969538 × 10⁻¹¹Example: convert 1 ch to nm: 1 × 20,116,800,000 = 20,116,800,000 nm.

About the chain
Gunter's chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), equal to 100 links or 4 rods. A cricket pitch is one chain long, and an acre is 10 square chains.

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)
