Convert centimeter to nanometer
Please provide values below to convert centimeter [cm] to nanometer [nm], or Convert nanometer to centimeter.
1 cm = 10000000 nm. To convert centimeter to nanometer, multiply the value by 10000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nm = 1e-07 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 = 10000000 nm
- 1 nm = 1e-07 cm
- 10 cm = 100000000 nm
- 100 cm = 1000000000 nm
How to Convert Centimeter to Nanometer
1 cm = 10000000 nm
Example: convert 15 cm to nm:
15 cm = 15 × 10000000 nm = 150000000 nm

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.
Nanometer
A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term “nanometer” gained prominence in the late 20th century with the advent of nanotechnology and the development of microscopes capable of observing objects at that scale.
Current Use
The nanometer is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic and molecular scale. It is used to specify the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation near the visible part of the spectrum and in the field of nanotechnology.
