==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Nano]] is a [[Unit Prefix]] that means a number is 10<sup>-9</sup> the normal [[unit]].
===About Nano===
: [[Nano]] can be shortened to a lower case n.
===Examples===
: A nanometre (µm) is 10<sup>-9</sup> metres (m).
: A nanovolt (µV) is 10<sup>-9</sup> volts (V).
: A nanogram (µg) is 10<sup>-9</sup> grams (g).
===Converting from Nano===
To convert from [[nano]] to the base unit you must times by 10<sup>-9</sup>.
: <math>63000nm = 63000\times10^{-9}m = 0.000063m</math>
: <math>8400nA = 8400\times10^{-9}A = 0.0000084A</math>
: <math>260nV = 260\times10^{-9}V = 0.00000026V</math>
: <math>98nN = 98\times10^{-9}N = 0.000000098N</math>
: <math>3nJ = 3\times10^{-9}J = 0.000000003J</math>
===Converting to Nano===
To convert to [[nano]] from a base unit you must times by 10<sup>9</sup> because there are 1,000,000,000 of them in the base unit.
: <math>8m = 8\times10^{9} nm = 8,000,000,000nm</math>
: <math>54A = 54\times10^{9} nA = 24,000,000,000nA</math>
: <math>6.2V = 6.2\times10^{9} nV = 6,200,000,000nV</math>
: <math>0.33N = 0.33\times10^{9} nN = 330,000,000nN</math>
: <math>0.052J = 0.052\times10^{9} nJ = 52,000,000nJ</math>
