==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Nanowatts''' ('''nW''') are a [[unit]] of [[power]] 1,000,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Watt]].
===About Microwatts===
: '''Nanowatts''' are shortened to '''nW''' with a lower case n and an upper case W.
: [[Nano]] means one billionth so there are 1,000,000,000 [[nanowatt]]s in a [[Watt]].
