Attometer to nanometer converter (am to nm)

Conversion Formula

1 am = 1.0E-9 nm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 am = 1.0E-18 meters
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 am = (1.0E-18 m) / (1.0E-9 m/nm) = 1.0E-9 nm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in am by 1.0E-9 to get the equivalent in nm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 am to nm:

5 am × 1.0E-9 = 5.0E-9 nm
