Nanometer to Fathom Converter

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.

Fathom

A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to 6 feet (1.8288 m). The unit of fathom is used especially for measuring the depth of water. The fathom is neither an International Standard (SI) unit, nor an internationally-accepted non-SI unit. Most modern nautical charts indicate depth in meters. However, the U.S. Hydrographic Office uses feet and fathoms. A nautical chart will always explicitly indicate the units of depth used.

An imperial fathom is equal to two yards (6 feet).
