How to convert nanometers to kilometers
1 nanometer is equal to 1 × 10⁻¹² kilometers, and 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 nanometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
kilometers = nanometers × 1 × 10⁻¹²
kilometers = nanometers ÷ 1,000,000,000,000Example: convert 1 nm to km: 1 × 1 × 10⁻¹² = 1 × 10⁻¹² km.

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.
