📏 Nanometers vs. Micrometers – What’s the Difference?

  • 1 micrometer (µm) = 1,000 nanometers (nm)
    So:
    👉 1 nanometer = 0.001 micrometers
    Or written as:
    👉 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻³ µm

📌 Real-Life Examples

Example 1:
Convert 1,000 nm
👉 1,000 ÷ 1,000 = 1 µm

Example 2:
Convert 250 nm
👉 250 ÷ 1,000 = 0.25 µm

Example 3:
Convert 5,000 nm
👉 5,000 ÷ 1,000 = 5 µm
