Yard to Nanometer Converter

Yard

The yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length in the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement. One yard is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. Since 1959, yard has been standardized as exactly 0.9144 meter. A distance of 1,760 yards is equal to 1 mile.

The yard is used as the standard unit of field-length measurement in American, Canadian and association football, cricket pitch dimensions (22yd), and in some countries, golf fairway measurements. In some parts of India, square yard is used as the unit of area - especially for plots of land. The yard, subdivided into eighths, is used for the purchase of fabrics in the United States and United Kingdom. Sometimes, the square yard (unit of area) and the cubic yard (unit of volume) are both referred to as 'yards'.

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.
