Kilometer to nanometer converter (km to nm)

Conversion Formula

1 km = 1000000000000 nm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilometer = 1000 meters
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 km = (1000 m) / (1.0E-9 m/nm) = 1000000000000 nm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in km by 1000000000000 to get the equivalent in nm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 km to nm:

5 km × 1000000000000 = 5000000000000 nm
