How to convert hands to nanometers
1 hand is equal to 101,600,000 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 9.842519685 × 10⁻⁹ hands. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = hands × 101,600,000
nanometers = hands ÷ 9.842519685 × 10⁻⁹Example: convert 1 h to nm: 1 × 101,600,000 = 101,600,000 nm.

About the hand
The hand is exactly 4 inches (10.16 cm). It's used to measure the height of horses at the withers.
Symbol: h · 1 h = 0.1016 m · Category: Imperial & US customary
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)
