Attonewton to piconewton converter (aN to pN)

Conversion Formula

1 aN = 1.00e-6 pN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Attonewton = 1.00e-18 newtons
   1 Piconewton = 1.00e-12 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 aN = (1.00e-18 N) / (1.00e-12 N/pN) = 1.00e-6 pN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in aN by 1.00e-6 to get the equivalent in pN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 aN to pN:

5 aN × 1.00e-6 = 5.00e-6 pN
