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

Centimeter
A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "centi-" comes from the Latin word "centum," meaning hundred. The centimeter was part of the original metric system established in France in 1795.
Current Use
The centimeter is a very common unit of measurement for everyday objects and is used in many fields, including science, engineering, and fashion.
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.
