1 nanometre

To help compare different orders of magnitudes this page lists lengths between 10⁻⁹ metres and 10⁻⁸ metres (1 nanometres and 10 nanometres).

Distances shorter than 1 nanometre

• 1 nm = 1 nanometre = 1000 picometres = 10 angstroms
• 2 nm — diameter of DNA helix^[1]
• 3.4 nm — length of a DNA turn (10 bp)^{[citation needed]}
• 3.8 nm — size of an albumin protein molecule^{[citation needed]}
• 6.8 nm — width of a haemoglobin molecule^{[citation needed]}
• 7.5 nm - thickness of a cell membrane
