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).

Millimetre
/ˈmɪlɪmiːtə/

Symbol: mm
Unit System: SI

What is the Millimetre?

The millimetre (American spelling millimeter) is a unit of length and is a multiple of the SI unit metre. It uses the symbol mm.

There are 1000 mm in 1 m and 10 mm in 1 cm. From this one can derive that there are 0.03937 in.

The millimetre is sometimes verbally abbreviated to 'mil' - which can cause confusion in the US as there is a unit there that means thousandth of an inch.
