Convert Meters to nanometers
1 meter = 1,000,000,000 nanometers · nm = m × 1,000,000,000
When you need this conversion
This conversion goes from meters, the SI base unit of length used for rooms, buildings, and sports distances, to nanometers, the scale of semiconductors and light wavelengths. Both measure the same physical quantity, so the conversion is exact — the difference is which unit your source, tool, or region happens to use.

The formula
nm = m × 1,000,000,000Because both units measure length, the conversion is a single multiplication by a fixed factor. That factor never changes, so the result is exact.
