What is a nanometre as a decimal?

1 nanometre = 0.001 micrometre = 0.000001 millimetre = 0.000000001 metre and 0.000000000001 kilometre.


What measurement is smaller than a millimeter?

millimetre = 10-3. micrometre = 10-6. nanometre = 10-9. picometre = 10-12. So basically micrometre, nanometre and picometre is the answer.


What are smaller than micrometers?

A thousandth of a micrometre is a nanometre. A thousandth of that is a picometre. A thousandth of that is a femtometre. A thousandth of that is a attometre. A thousandth of that is a zeptometre. A thousandth of that is a yoctometre. There is also 1/10 nanometre, which is known as the Angstrom unit. An alternative answer to the question is, half a micrometre, a thrid of a micrometre, a quarter of a micrometre etc.

What is the difference between a nanometre and micrometer. Draw a scale to illustrate the difference?

Strictly? A nanometer is 10^-9 metres, a micrometer is a precision instrument, mosty used to measure machine parts. If you mean nanomater/ micrometre: nm = 10^-9 m, um = 10^-6 m.

Unit of measure equal to one billionth of a meter?

The SI system uses prefixes that go up and down in order of thousandths. So to start, one metre, one thousandth of a metre is a millimetre; one thousandth of a millimetre ( one millionth of a metre) is a micrometre; one thousandth of a micrometre ( one billionth of a metre) is a nanometre. The symbol for nanometre is "nm", 'n' nano, 'm' metre, both lowercase. One thousand metres is a kilometre, one thousand kilometres is a megametre, etc.
