Centimeter to Nanometer Converter

Centimeter

A centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. A centimeter equal to one hundredth of a meter, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of 1/100. The centimeter was the base unit of length in the now deprecated centimeter–gram–second (CGS) system of units.

The centimeter is a commonly used measure of length and height. In many countries, height of a person is measured in centimeters.

The centimeter is roughly equal to the fingernail of an average adult person. Radius of vehicle wheels, waist size of trousers, length of shirts etc. are also often measured in cm values. More information

Nanometer

A nanometer (symbol: nm) is a unit for measuring length. One nanometer equals to one billionth (short scale) of a meter i.e. 0.000000001 m. One nanometer can be expressed in scientific notation as 1×10⁻⁹ m, and as 1/1000000000 meters.

Nanometer is often used to express length at the atomic levels.
