==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Nanometres''' ('''nm''') are a [[unit]] of [[distance]], [[displacement]] and [[wavelength]] 1,000,000,000 times smaller than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Metre]].
===About Micrometres===
: '''Nanometres''' are shortened to '''nm''' with a lower case n and a lower case m.
: [[Nano]] means one billionth so there are 1,000,000,000 [[nanometre]]s in a [[Metre]].
