This calculator allows you to convert from Nanometer to Fathom and in a reverse direction. To convert from Nanometer to Fathom, enter the amount of Nanometer into the first input and to convert from Fathom to Nanometer, enter the amount of Fathom into the second input.
1 Nanometer = 5.4680664916885E-10 Fathom
To convert Nanometer to Fathom: Every 1 Nanometer equals 5.4680664916885E-10 Fathom. For example, 100 Nanometer equal 100 * 5.4680664916885E-10 = 5.4680664916885E-8 Fathom and so on..

In 1793, The distance from the equator to the North Pole was measured and divided by 10 million. The result of the previous process was called as a meter.
Nowadays, meter or metre is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).
Meter or metre is a metric measurement slightly longer than a yard. It is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Distance measures length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
Meter is used as a measure of distance across the globe. Distance expresses the length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
However most of countries use meter to measure length, US is the primary exception which is using imperial system.
What is nanometer?
Nanometer is a very tiny unit of length in the metric system. It equals 10-9 meter. It is commonly used in atomic scale and nanotechnology.
For example, the diameter of a helium atom and ribosome is about 0.06 nm and 20 nm respectively.
What is fathom?
As we mentioned before, the human body was the base from which length units were derived. Fathom is one of these units. For a large man holding his arms fully extended, the distance from the middle fingertip of one hand to the middle fingertip of the other hand express one fathom.
For more specification, one fathom equals 6 feet or nearly 1.83 meter. The term "fathom" was derived from the old English "faedm" which means outstretched arms. Fathom is used mainly in water depth measurement.
