Inch to Nanometer Converter

Inch

The inch (symbol: in or ″) is a unit of length in the British imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 1/36 yard or 1/12 of a foot. The word inch has been derived from the Roman word uncia (meaning 'twelfth'). There are 12 inches in a foot. Currently an inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters.

Inch is regularly used in Britain and the Commonwealth countries like India, Australia, Canada etc. It is often used to express the height of a person (for example, 'John is 5 feet 9 inches (5′ 9″)'). In most of continental Europe, the inch is also used informally as a measure for display screens. (e.g. 42 inch TV)

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.
