Convert millimeter to nanometer
Please provide values below to convert millimeter [mm] to nanometer [nm], or Convert nanometer to millimeter.
1 mm = 1000000 nm. To convert millimeter to nanometer, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nm = 1e-06 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 = 1000000 nm
- 1 nm = 1e-06 mm
- 10 mm = 10000000 nm
- 100 mm = 100000000 nm
How to Convert Millimeter to Nanometer
1 mm = 1000000 nm
Example: convert 15 mm to nm:
15 mm = 15 × 1000000 nm = 15000000 nm

Millimeter
A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "milli-" comes from the Latin word "mille," meaning thousand. The millimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The millimeter is widely used in engineering and manufacturing for high-precision measurements. It is also a common unit in construction and for measuring small objects.
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.
