Convert 1000 Nanometer to Mil: 1000 Nanometer in Mil
This calculator allows you to convert from Nanometer to Mil and in a reverse direction. To convert from Nanometer to Mil, enter the amount of Nanometer into the first input and to convert from Mil to Nanometer, enter the amount of Mil into the second input.
Every 1 Nanometer = 3.9370078740158E-5 Mil
and so, 1000 Nanometer = 1000 multiplied by 3.9370078740158E-5 = 0.039370078740158 Mil.

What is meter?
In 1793, The distance from the equator to the North Pole was measured and divided by 10 million. The result of the previous process was called as a meter.
Nowadays, meter or metre is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).
Meter or metre is a metric measurement slightly longer than a yard. It is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Distance measures length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
Meter is used as a measure of distance across the globe. Distance expresses the length. For example, the distance of a road is how long the road is.
However most of countries use meter to measure length, US is the primary exception which is using imperial system.
What is nanometer?
Nanometer is a very tiny unit of length in the metric system. It equals 10-9 meter. It is commonly used in atomic scale and nanotechnology.
For example, the diameter of a helium atom and ribosome is about 0.06 nm and 20 nm respectively.
Mil
What is mil?
Mil or Thou is a unit of length which equals one thousandth of an inch. The thickness of different materials in U.S is measured in mils. The thickness of ID cards is about 30 mils.
It is important to differentiate between mill and millimeter which is 0.001 meter.
The following examples can help you to totally understand the size of mil:
