How to convert micrometers to nanometers

1 micrometer is equal to 1000 nanometers:

1 μm = 1000 nm

When a distance L in micrometers is multiplied by 1000, it gives distance in nanometers.

Lnm = Lμm × 1000


Example

To convert 5 micrometers into nanometers, it is multiplied by 1000:

(5 μm) × 1000 = 5000 nm
