Convert nanonewton to giganewton
Please provide values below to convert nanonewton [nN] to giganewton [GN], or Convert giganewton to nanonewton.
1 nN = 1.0000e-18 GN. To convert nanonewton to giganewton, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GN = 1.0000e+18 nN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nN = 1.0000e-18 GN
- 1 GN = 1.0000e+18 nN
- 10 nN = 1.0000e-17 GN
- 100 nN = 1.0000e-16 GN
How to Convert Nanonewton to Giganewton
1 nN = 1e-18 GN
Example: convert 15 nN to GN:
15 nN = 15 × 1e-18 GN = 1.5e-17 GN

Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
Giganewton
A giganewton (GN) is a unit of force equal to one billion newtons (10^9 N).
History/Origin
The giganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to larger force units, primarily for scientific and engineering applications requiring large force measurements.
Current Use
Giganewtons are used in fields such as aerospace, structural engineering, and physics to quantify large forces, especially in simulations, calculations, and measurements involving substantial loads or forces.
