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 picometers = 10 Ångströms
• 1 nm — rough length of a sucrose molecule, as calculated by Albert Einstein^{[citation needed]}
• 1.1 nm — diameter of a single-walled carbon nanotube^{[citation needed]}
• 2 nm — diameter of DNA helix^{[citation needed]}
• 3 nm — flying height of the head of a hard disk^{[citation needed]}
• 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 hemoglobin molecule^{[citation needed]}
