A nanometre is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a metre. It is used to measure wavelengths of visible light, atomic radii, and dimensions of nanostructures in materials science.

What is millimetre?

A millimetre is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth of a metre. It is used in precision manufacturing, medical imaging, engineering tolerances, and detailed technical specifications.

Worked examples

1 nanometre = 0.000001 millimetre

1 millimetre = 0.001 metre
