Conversion Formula
The conversion from nanometers to feet is based on the fact that 1 nm equals 3.28084 x 10-9 feet. To convert, multiply the nanometer value by this factor. For example, to convert 10 nm, multiply 10 by 3.28084 x 10-9 which results in 3.28084 x 10-8 feet. This formula works because it’s a direct proportion based on the known equivalence between these units.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 nm to feet:
- Multiply 20 by 3.28084 x 10-9
- 20 x 3.28084 x 10-9 = 6.56168 x 10-8
- Result: approximately 6.5617 x 10-8 foot
- Convert 5 nm to feet:
- Multiply 5 by 3.28084 x 10-9
- 5 x 3.28084 x 10-9 = 1.64042 x 10-8
- Result: approximately 1.6404 x 10-8 foot
- Convert 15 nm to feet:
- Multiply 15 by 3.28084 x 10-9
- 15 x 3.28084 x 10-9 = 4.92126 x 10-8
- Result: approximately 4.9213 x 10-8 foot

Conversion Definitions
Nanometer (nm)
A nanometer is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter, used mainly to measure extremely small things like atoms or molecules, in fields like physics, chemistry, and nanotechnology. It helps to describe sizes far smaller than what the human eye can see.
Foot
A foot is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 12 inches or approximately 0.3048 meters, used in the United States and some other countries for measuring height, distance, or length in everyday life and construction.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is the conversion from nanometers to feet?
The conversion is precise to the level of the decimal places used, with the factor 1 nm = 3.28084 x 10-9 feet. For most practical purposes, rounding to 8 decimal places provides sufficient accuracy, but for ultra-precise science measurements, more digits might be necessary.
Can I convert any nanometer value to feet using the same formula?
Yes, the same multiplication formula applies regardless of the nanometer amount. Simply multiply the number of nanometers by 3.28084 x 10-9 to get the length in feet. Larger or smaller values follow the same rule.
Why is converting nanometers to feet useful?
