Convert nanometer to attometer
Please provide values below to convert nanometer [nm] to attometer [am], or Convert attometer to nanometer.
1 nm = 1000000000 am. To convert nanometer to attometer, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 1e-09 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 = 1000000000 am
- 1 am = 1e-09 nm
- 10 nm = 10000000000 am
- 100 nm = 100000000000 am
How to Convert Nanometer to Attometer
1 nm = 1000000000 am
Example: convert 15 nm to am:
15 nm = 15 × 1000000000 am = 15000000000 am

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.
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.
