How to convert picometers to nanometers
1 picometer is equal to 0.001 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 1,000 picometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = picometers × 0.001
nanometers = picometers ÷ 1,000Example: convert 15 pm to nm: 15 × 0.001 = 0.015 nm.

About the picometer
A picometer is 10⁻¹² meters. It's used for atomic and ionic radii and bond lengths; a hydrogen atom is about 50 pm across.
Symbol: pm · 1 pm = 1 × 10⁻¹² 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)
