A nano meter is: 1x10^-9 meters in scientific notation.

Or it can alternatively be written as: 0.000000001 meters.

In other words it is tiny!

It can alternatively be looked at a one billionth of a meter!

To put a nanometer in perspective think about this stuff:

A milimeter is about the same thickness as a toe nail.

Now, there are 1million nanometers in a millimeter. So, your toe nail is about 1million nanometers thick!

Now consider this cool fact regarding nano scale engineering: Computer chips have circuitry that is 1 nanometer thick. The entire Bible could be printed on a computer chip the size of a postage stamp. Amazing!
