The prefix for 10-9 is nano-.
kilo (k): 1000 mega (M): a million giga (G): a billion milli (m): 1/1000 micro (the Greek letter mu, which looks a bit like a "u"): a millionth nano (n): a billionth There are others, too, for example, for larger or smaller numbers.
In the metric systems, unlike other systems, there is only one unit for each measurement; e.g the only unit for length is the metre. For lengths much longer, or shorter, lengths we use prefixes to indicate the fraction or multiple of the metre. For short lengths the fractions are thousandths, millionths, billionths; for which the prefixes are milli-, micro-, and nano-. For longer lengths, the multiples are thousands, millions, and billions; for which the prefixes are kilo-, mega-, and giga-. The prefixes indicate the fraction,or the multiple of the base unit.
The symbol for nanometer is "nm" – it represents a metric unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter.

Not quite. Larger or smaller units are created by adding prefixes for different powers of 10 - not only 100.
1000
The largest metric prefixes are yotta- (Y) and zetta- (Z), representing 10^24 and 10^21, respectively. These prefixes are used to describe extremely large quantities, such as data storage capacities or distances in space.
Every prefix in the metric system denotes a power of 10.

mili, deci, centi, hecto, kilo, deka
The prefixes for deca indicate a factor of ten. For example, "deca-" represents 10, "hecto-" represents 100, and "kilo-" represents 1,000. These prefixes are commonly used in the metric system for units of measurement.
A helpful acronym to remember the prefixes in the metric system is "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk," representing kilo, hecto, deca, base unit (gram, liter, meter), deci, centi, milli in increasing order of magnitude. This can assist in recalling the meaning and order of the prefixes.

The metric prefix deci- represents a factor of 0.1, which means one-tenth or 1/10 of the base unit. It is often used in the metric system to denote a fraction of a unit.

The appropriate metric prefix is centi- for 10-2
