11 nanometers equals approximately 3.63 x 10-7 feet. This tiny length is far smaller than a foot, which measures 12 inches or about 0.3048 meters. Converting nanometers to feet involves understanding their relation through metric and imperial units.
Nanometers (nm) are units of length in the metric system, equal to one-billionth of a meter. Feet (ft) are imperial units; there are 0.3048 meters in a foot. To convert nanometers to feet, we first convert nanometers to meters, then meters to feet by applying the correct conversion factors.

Conversion Formula
To convert nanometers to feet, the formula involves two steps: first, convert nanometers to meters by multiplying by 1e-9, because one nanometer equals 1e-9 meters. Then, convert meters to feet by dividing the meters value by 0.3048, since one foot equals 0.3048 meters. Example:
- Convert 11 nm to meters: 11 × 1e-9 = 1.1e-8 meters.
- Convert meters to feet: 1.1e-8 / 0.3048 ≈ 3.61e-8 feet.
This step-by-step approach ensures accurate conversion based on the metric-to-imperial relationship.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 nm to ft:
- 5 × 1e-9 = 5e-9 meters
- 5e-9 / 0.3048 ≈ 1.64e-8 ft
- Convert 20 nm to ft:
- 20 × 1e-9 = 2e-8 meters
- 2e-8 / 0.3048 ≈ 6.56e-8 ft
- Convert 100 nm to ft:
- 100 × 1e-9 = 1e-7 meters
- 1e-7 / 0.3048 ≈ 3.28e-7 ft
- Convert 0.5 nm to ft:
- 0.5 × 1e-9 = 5e-10 meters
- 5e-10 / 0.3048 ≈ 1.64e-9 ft
