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

Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
