Formula notes
Convert the input to metres with the selected unit factor, then scale: nm = m / 1e-9, Å = m / 1e-10, and thousandths of an inch = m / 0.0000254.
Worked examples
- Example: 1 angstrom equals 0.1 nanometre and about 0.00000394 thousandths of an inch.
- 1 nanometre equals 10 angstroms and about 0.00003937 thousandths of an inch.
How to use it
- Enter a nonnegative length value.
- Choose the unit you measured.
- Read angstroms, nanometres, thousandths of an inch, and metres.
Frequently asked questions
What is a thousandth of an inch?
It is one mil, defined as exactly 0.001 inch or 0.0000254 metre in this converter.
Does this handle other metric prefixes?
Yes. The unit list also supports picometres, micrometres, millimetres, centimetres, and metres.
Limits and interpretation
- The converter uses exact SI and inch definitions, so measurement uncertainty comes from the instrument, not the conversion.
- Thousandths of an inch here is a linear length unit; it is not an angular mil used in firearms or sighting.
