Convert angstrom to femtometer
Please provide values below to convert angstrom [A] to femtometer [fm], or Convert femtometer to angstrom.
1 A = 100000 fm. To convert angstrom to femtometer, multiply the value by 100000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fm = 1e-05 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 = 100000 fm
- 1 fm = 1e-05 A
- 10 A = 1000000 fm
- 100 A = 10000000 fm
How to Convert Angstrom to Femtometer
1 A = 100000 fm
Example: convert 15 A to fm:
15 A = 15 × 100000 fm = 1500000 fm

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.
Femtometer
A femtometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-15 meters. It is also known as a fermi.
History/Origin
The prefix "femto-" for 10^-15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964. The unit is also named after the physicist Enrico Fermi.
Current Use
The femtometer is primarily used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei.
