How to convert rods to nanometers
1 rod is equal to 5,029,200,000 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 1.988387815 × 10⁻¹⁰ rods. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = rods × 5,029,200,000
nanometers = rods ÷ 1.988387815 × 10⁻¹⁰Example: convert 1 rd to nm: 1 × 5,029,200,000 = 5,029,200,000 nm.

About the rod
The rod is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), or a quarter of a chain. It was used in land surveying and is still used to measure canoe portages.
Symbol: rd · 1 rd = 5.0292 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)
