a Virus is smaller than a bacteria. Viruses are so small that they are measured in nanometers. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter. The smallest viruses are about 20 nanometers in diameter, while the largest viruses are more than 200 nanometers in diameter. The average virus is quite small when compared with even the smallest cells-- those of bacteria
