How to Convert Nanometers to Centimeters
Converting nanometers (nm) to centimeters (cm) is a common conversion in wavelength measurements. One nanometer is equal to 0.0000001 centimeters.
Formula
Centimeters = Nanometers × 0.0000001
or
cm = nm × 0.0000001
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in nanometers
- Multiply that number by 0.0000001
- The result is the equivalent amount in centimeters
Examples
- 1 nm = 0.0000001 cm
- 10 nm = 0.000001 cm
- 100 nm = 0.00001 cm

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nanometer (nm)?
A nanometer (nm) is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter (10⁻⁹ meters). It is commonly used for measuring very small distances, such as the wavelengths of visible light or the size of atoms and molecules.
What is a Centimeter (cm)?
A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter (10⁻² meters). It is commonly used for everyday measurements, such as the length of a pencil or the height of a person.
