Millimeters to Nanometers Converter
A Millimeters to Nanometers Converter will be useful for you when you want to change millimeters (mm) to nanometers (nm). A millimeter is a metric unit of length, larger than the nanometer that includes num of zeros, which is still in metric units of length. As an engineer, scientist, or student who regularly measures things at the micron or nanometer scale, you will find this converter very useful if you need to quickly convert between these two units.
How many Nanometers equal one Millimeter?
1 Millimeter (mm) = 1,000,000 Nanometers (nm)
Meter is expressed in Millimeter (mm) and nanometer (nm). In this conversion game, a millimeter is like a band leader (the big boss, if you will) and is made up of many nanometers. In other words, 1 millimeter is equal to 1,000,000 nanometers!
The difference between nanometers and millimetres
For items we can see easily such as the width of your pinky finger (about 7 mm), we use millimeters. However, nanometers are so small they work with the world of atoms and molecules. Even with a normal microscope, you can’t even see them! The difference between millimeters and nanometers lies in their size and application:
Millimeter (mm): A metric unit of length is a millimeter which is one-thousandth of a meter. In everyday measurements, it is common to use it in measuring small sizes of hardware parts and in other different fields such as engineering and carpentry.
Nanometer (nm): It is much smaller, a nanometer is one billionth of a meter. In particular, it’s mostly applied in scientific research and nanotechnology, where extremely small things of molecules, DNA strands, and particles, even at the atomic scale are measured.
The width of a human hair is about 80,000 to 100,000 nanometers, to try and put it into perspective that is how small the nanometer is.
Millimeters to Nanometers Conversion example
Here we have given the formula for Millimeters to Nanometers conversion.
1millimeter=1,000,000nanometers.
conversion example and formula-
Let's say you have a length of 3millimeters, and you want to convert it to nanometers.
Length in nanometers=Length in millimeters×Conversion factor
Length in nanometers=3millimeters×1,000,000
Length in nanometers=3,000,000nanometers
So, 3millimeters is equal to 3,000,000nanometers.
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
Q1: A millimeter is greater than a nanometer.
A: But is a millimeter so much bigger than a nanometer? One million nanometers is a single millimeter.
Q2: Is this conversion in the other direction possible; from millimeters to nanometers?
A: Yes. To find millimeters of this, divide the nanometer value by 1000,000.
Q3: When is millimeter to nanometer conversion used?
A: This conversion is used frequently in scientific research, nanotechnology, and biology, where measurements at a microscopic or nanoscopic scale are key.
Q4: Exactly how accurate is a millimeter to nanometer conversion?
A: This conversion is exact and is also exact according to the rule of the metric system so this is one of the most precise conversion methods.
