To help compare different orders of magnitudes this page lists lengths between 10−9 metres and 10−8 metres (1 nanometres and 10 nanometres).
Distances shorter than 1 nanometre
- 1 nm = 1 nanometre = 1000 picometres = 10 angstroms
- 1 nm — rough length of a sucrose molecule, as calculated by Albert Einstein[citation needed]
- 1.1 nm — diameter of a single-walled carbon nanotube[citation needed]
- 2 nm — diameter of DNA helix[1]
- 3.4 nm — length of a DNA turn (10 bp)[citation needed]
- 3 × 8 nm — size of an albumin protein molecule[citation needed]
- 6.8 nm — width of a haemoglobin molecule[citation needed]
- 7.5 nm - thickness of a cell membrane
