Example Conversion
To convert from kilometers to nanometers, multiply by 1000000000000.0.
For example: 22 kilometers = 22 × 1000000000000.0 = 22000000000000.0 nanometers
Unit History
About kilometers
The kilometer was established following the definition of the meter, representing exactly 1,000 meters. It quickly became a standard for measuring longer distances, such as those between cities or geographic landmarks. Most countries that use the metric system rely on kilometers to indicate road and travel distances.
About nanometers
The nanometer (nm), one-billionth of a meter, gained prominence with major developments in areas such as semiconductor technology and molecular research. It is used to measure extremely small phenomena, including wavelengths of light and the size of molecules. Nanometers are now crucial in high-precision manufacturing and cutting-edge scientific studies, including nanotechnology and quantum research.
