Best Answer

A nanometer is 10^-9 meter, whereas a micrometer is 10^-6 meter. So a nanometer is 1000th of a micrometer. A nanometer is smaller.

'Meter' is the standard of length in the metric and SI systems. One meter is about 39 and 1/3 inches.

'Nanometer' is one billionth part of one meter.

A nanometer is 10^-9 meters. That is, it takes 1 billion nanometers to make 1 meter.

How many nanoseconds are in a nanometer?

3.335640952 x 10^-9 nanoseconds If Einstein is right and light is a constant, and your measuring a straight line. You can not measure something moving faster than the constant speed of light moving through a nanometer worth of space, if you were to it would have to move faster than 3.335640952 x 10^-9 nanoseconds per nanometer. That is the maximum potential measurement of time in a nanometer on a straight line.
