About this conversion

The kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for road and highway distances and geographic measurements. The nanometer (nm) belongs to the metric (SI) and is typically found in measurements related to visible light wavelengths (400–700 nm) and chip transistor node sizes. By definition, one kilometer is one thousand meters. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10⁻⁹ m). The conversion factor between these two units is 999999999999.9999: multiplying any value in km by this number gives the equivalent in nm. For example, 10 km equals 9999999999999.9980 nm. Going the other direction, 1 nm equals 0 km. Adopted alongside the metric system, the kilometer became the standard unit for land distance in most countries by the 20th century.
