What is a Nanometer?
Hello Readers, We learned about NanoDays at my after school group! My hand is 160 million nanometers long! I am 1,470,000,000 nanometers tall! Do you know what a nanometer is? A nanometer is a billionth of a meter. A pair of eyeglasses is 130 nanometers long. A drinking straw is over 200 million nanometers long. A pen is 140 nanometers long. A stapler is 170 nanometers long A glass is 160 nanometers long. A sharpen pencil is 185 million nanometers long. It is easy to measure in nanometers using the following chart. You will need a ruler with centimeters on it. Measurements : 0 cm = 0 nanometers 1 cm = 10 million nanometers 2 cm = 20 million nanometers 3 cm = 30 million nanometers 4 cm = 40 million nanometers 5 cm = 50 million nanometers 6 cm = 60 million nanometers 7 cm = 70 million nanometers 8 cm = 80 million nanometers 9 cm = 90 million nanometers 10 cm = 100 million nanometers 11 cm = 110 million nanometers
