How to Convert Angstroms to Centimeters
Converting angstroms (Å) to centimeters (cm) involves converting from a very small unit of length to a larger unit. One angstrom is equal to 0.00000001 centimeters.
Formula
Centimeters = Angstroms × 0.00000001
or
cm = Å × 0.00000001
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in angstroms
- Multiply that number by 0.00000001
- The result is the equivalent amount in centimeters
Examples
- 1 angstrom = 0.00000001 centimeters
- 10 angstroms = 0.0000001 centimeters
- 100 angstroms = 0.000001 centimeters
When to Convert Angstroms to Centimeters
This conversion is useful in fields like atomic physics, crystallography, and spectroscopy, where measurements are often at the atomic scale and need to be related to more common units.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many centimeters are in an angstrom?
There are exactly 0.00000001 centimeters in one angstrom.
Why is the conversion factor 0.00000001?
The angstrom is defined as 10^-10 meters, and one meter is 100 centimeters, so 10^-10 * 100 = 10^-8.
