Cm To Nm
1 centimeter = 10,000,000 nanometers. Multiply centimeters by 10,000,000 to get nanometers; divide nanometers by 10,000,000 to go back.

How to convert centimeters to nanometers
Step 1
Take the value in centimeters.
10 cm
Step 2
Multiply by 10,000,000.
10 × 10,000,000
Step 3
Round to the precision you need.
= 100,000,000 nm
The centimeter and the nanometer are both defined in terms of the metre and the kilogram, so this factor is exact, not an approximation.
What is a centimeter?
A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter or 0.01 meters.

Frequently asked questions
How many nanometers are in a centimeter?
There are 10,000,000 nanometers in one centimeter. Going the other way, one nanometer is 0.0000001 centimeters.
How do I convert centimeters to nanometers?
Multiply the number of centimeters by 10,000,000. For example, 10 cm × 10,000,000 = 100,000,000 nm.
What is 5 centimeters in nanometers?
5 centimeters is 50,000,000 nanometers.
What is 100 centimeters in nanometers?
100 centimeters is 1,000,000,000 nanometers.
Is the centimeter to nanometer factor exact?
Yes. Both units are defined by international agreement in terms of the metre and the kilogram, so 10,000,000 is an exact factor and any error comes only from rounding the result.
