How to convert meters to nanometers
1 meter is equal to 1,000,000,000 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 1 × 10⁻⁹ meters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = meters × 1,000,000,000
nanometers = meters ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁹Example: convert 1 m to nm: 1 × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 nm.

About the meter
The meter is the SI base unit of length. Since 1983 it has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It's used for everyday measurement almost everywhere in the world.
Symbol: m · 1 m = 1 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)
