Convert angstrom to attometer
Please provide values below to convert angstrom [A] to attometer [am], or Convert attometer to angstrom.
1 A = 100000000 am. To convert angstrom to attometer, multiply the value by 100000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 1e-08 A). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 A = 100000000 am
- 1 am = 1e-08 A
- 10 A = 1000000000 am
- 100 A = 10000000000 am
How to Convert Angstrom to Attometer
1 A = 100000000 am
Example: convert 15 A to am:
15 A = 15 × 100000000 am = 1500000000 am

Angstrom
The angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters. It is not an SI unit.
History/Origin
In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight in which he expressed the wavelengths in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimeter. The unit was named after him.
Current Use
The angstrom is used to express the sizes of atoms, molecules, and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, and crystallography.
Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
