Unit Information

Nanometre
/ˈnanə(ʊ)ˌmiːtə/
Symbol: nm
Unit System: SI

What is the Nanometre?

The nanometre is a unit of length and is a multiple of the SI unit metre. It uses the symbol nm.

1 nm is equal to one one-billionth of a metre. (Nano is the prefix for one billionth). It is used to express dimensions on an atomic scale for example a helium atom has a radius of approximately 0.03nm.

The nanometre was previously known as the millimicrometre (or the millimicron).

Angstrom
/ˈaŋstrəm/
Symbol:
Unit System: Non-SI Metric

What is the Angstrom?

The angstrom (or ångström) is a unit of length and is a non-SI but metric accepted unit with the symbol Å.

It is equal in length to one ten-billionth of a metre or 0.1 nanometres (0.1nm).

It is approximately the size of an atom and is mostly used to measure very small distances for example wavelengths of light.
