Convert angstrom to picometer
Please provide values below to convert angstrom [A] to picometer [pM], or Convert picometer to angstrom.
1 A = 100 pM. To convert angstrom to picometer, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pM = 0.01 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 = 100 pM
- 1 pM = 0.01 A
- 10 A = 1000 pM
- 100 A = 10000 pM
How to Convert Angstrom to Picometer
1 A = 100 pM
Example: convert 15 A to pM:
15 A = 15 × 100 pM = 1500 pM

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.
Picometer
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
