Convert hectonewton to attonewton
Please provide values below to convert hectonewton [hN] to attonewton [aN], or Convert attonewton to hectonewton.
1 hN = 1.0000e+20 aN. To convert hectonewton to attonewton, multiply the value by 1.0000e+20; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aN = 1.0000e-20 hN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hN = 1.0000e+20 aN
- 1 aN = 1.0000e-20 hN
- 10 hN = 1.0000e+21 aN
- 100 hN = 1.0000e+22 aN
How to Convert Hectonewton to Attonewton
1 hN = 1e+20 aN
Example: convert 15 hN to aN:
15 hN = 15 × 1e+20 aN = 1.5e+21 aN

Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
Attonewton
An attonewton (aN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-18 newtons.
History/Origin
The attonewton is part of the SI prefixes system, introduced to measure extremely small forces, with its usage becoming more relevant in nanotechnology and precision measurements.
Current Use
Attonewtons are used in scientific research involving microscopic forces, such as in atomic and molecular physics, and in nanotechnology applications where very small forces are measured.
