How to convert nanometers to nautical miles
1 nanometer is equal to 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹³ nautical miles, and 1 nautical mile (international) is equal to 1,852,000,000,000 nanometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nautical miles = nanometers × 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹³
nautical miles = nanometers ÷ 1,852,000,000,000Example: convert 1 nm to NM: 1 × 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹³ = 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹³ NM.

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)
About the nautical mile (international)
The international nautical mile is exactly 1,852 m, close to one minute of latitude. It's used in aviation, shipping and for territorial waters, and one knot is one nautical mile per hour.
