Convert nanowatt to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1.0000e-24 PW. To convert nanowatt to petawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-24; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 1.0000e+24 nW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nW = 1.0000e-24 PW
- 1 PW = 1.0000e+24 nW
- 10 nW = 1.0000e-23 PW
- 100 nW = 1.0000e-22 PW
How to Convert Nanowatt to Petawatt
1 nW = 1e-24 PW
Example: convert 15 nW to PW:
15 nW = 15 × 1e-24 PW = 1.5e-23 PW

Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanowatt in petawatt?
1 nanowatt (nW) = 1.0000e-24 petawatt (PW).
How do you convert nanowatt to petawatt?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 1.0000e-24. For example, 25 nW × 1.0000e-24 = 2.5000e-23 PW.
What is 10 nanowatt in petawatt?
10 nW = 1.0000e-23 PW.
Which unit is larger, the nanowatt or the petawatt?
The petawatt is the larger unit: 1 nW equals only 1.0000e-24 PW.
