How to Convert Nanometers to Meters
To convert a nanometer measurement to a meter measurement, divide the length by the conversion ratio.
Since one meter is equal to 1,000,000,000 nanometers, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The length in meters is equal to the nanometers divided by 1,000,000,000.
Nanometers and meters are both units used to measure length. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What is a Nanometer?
One nanometer is equal to one-billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a meter, which is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in a 1/299,792,458 second time interval.
The nanometer, or nanometre, is a multiple of the meter, which is the SI base unit for length. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for 10-9. Nanometers can be abbreviated as nm; for example, 1 nanometer can be written as 1 nm.
The nanometer is an extremely small unit of length measurement, often used to measure things that are very small, such as the transistors and electrical pathways in computer processors and nanotechnology.

What is a Meter?
The meter is defined as the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval with a duration of 1/299,792,458 of a second, according to the most recent 2019 definition.[1] One meter is equal to 100 centimeters, 3.28084 feet, or 39.37 inches.
The meter, or metre, is the SI base unit for length in the metric system. Meters can be abbreviated as m; for example, 1 meter can be written as 1 m.

We recommend using a ruler or tape measure for measuring length, which can be found at a local retailer or home center. Rulers are available in imperial, metric, or a combination of both values, so make sure you get the correct type for your needs.
Need a ruler? Try our free downloadable and printable rulers, which include both imperial and metric measurements.
