To convert 1 nanometer to micrometer, multiply the nanometer value by the conversion factor 0.001000. So, 1 nanometer multiplied by 0.001000 equals 0.0010 micrometer.

1 nanometer equals exactly 0.001000 micrometer. For practical purposes, this is often expressed as 0.001 micrometer.

Objects measuring approximately 1 nanometer include the diameter of a single-walled carbon nanotube (1.0 nm), the thickness of a single atomic layer deposition film (1.0 nm), and the surface roughness specification for extreme UV lithography mirrors (1.0 nm Ra).

Converting nanometer to micrometer is useful for scaling measurements in nanotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing, and materials science. It helps bridge the gap between atomic-scale precision and microscopic observations, facilitating design, quality control, and communication in professional engineering and scientific fields.

The easiest way is to remember that 'nano' means one billionth and 'micro' means one millionth. Since a billion is 1000 times smaller than a million, a nanometer is 1000 times smaller than a micrometer. Therefore, to go from nanometer to micrometer, you divide by 1000, or shift the decimal three places to the left (1 nm = 0.001 um).
