Convert nanometer to angstrom
Please provide values below to convert nanometer [nm] to angstrom [A], or Convert angstrom to nanometer.
1 nm = 10 A. To convert nanometer to angstrom, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 A = 0.1 nm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nm = 10 A
- 1 A = 0.1 nm
- 10 nm = 100 A
- 100 nm = 1000 A
How to Convert Nanometer to Angstrom
1 nm = 10 A
Example: convert 15 nm to A:
15 nm = 15 × 10 A = 150 A

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.
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.
