Interactive nautical miles to nanometers conversion tool
The nmi to nm converter below can be used to quickly and easily convert nautical miles to nanometers. Simply enter the number of nautical miles you want to convert and the calculator will output the corresponding value in nanometers.
What is the conversion factor between nautical miles and nanometers?
A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. It represents the ratio (or fraction) that expresses the relationship between two different units. A conversion factor is always equal to 1.
The relationship between nautical miles and nanometers is 1.852e+12, such as:
Following the formula above, we can see that there are 1.852e+12 nanometers for every nautical mile, and for every nanometer, there are 11.852e+12 nautical miles (5.39957e-13 nmi).
To convert from nautical miles to nanometers, we turn our formula into a conversion factor that is equal to 1.
Both these fractions are equal to 1. The numerator and the denominator are equivalent, they are just expressed in different units.
Because we are converting from nautical mile to nanometer, we will use the first fraction: 1.852e+12 nm1 nmi so that nautical miles are canceled out. We then multiply the value in nautical miles by this fraction to get the result in nanometers (see example).
Note that nmi is in the denominator (bottom) of the conversion factor. This is important, you always want to have the unit you are converting from at the bottom and the unit you are converting to in the numerator (top).
You will find below how to use this ratio to convert from nmi to nm. Just remember for now that the conversion factor for converting from nautical miles to nanometers is:
Which is bigger, a nautical mile or a nanometer?
When it comes to measurements, there can be some confusion over which is bigger, a nautical mile or an nanometer. To find out which one is larger, we must first convert one unit to the other and then compare them.
- 1 nmi = 1.852e+12 nm
- 1.852e+12 nanometers is bigger than 1 nanometer.
- 1 nautical mile is, therefore, bigger than 1 nanometer.
- To be more specific, a nanometer is 1.852e+12 times smaller than a nautical mile.

How to convert nautical miles to nanometers?
Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.
For example:
- 78 x 1 = 78
- 599 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 599
Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.
For example, if we want to convert 100 nautical miles into nanometers we multiply 100 nmi by the conversion factor of 1.852e+12 nm1 nmi
By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nautical miles are canceled out and we get the result in nanometers. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.
Based on this, we can conclude that 100 nautical miles are equal to 1.852e+14 nanometers.
Remember:
- When converting from nautical miles to nanometers, we use 1.852e+12 nm1 nmi as a conversion factor.
