What does a nanometer measure?

A nanometer is a unit of length that equals one billionth of a meter and is used to measure atomic and molecular dimensions.

What is a statute mile?

A statute mile is a unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or exactly 1,609.344 meters, commonly used for road distances in the US and UK.

Why is converting nanometers to miles useful?

It helps relate extremely small nanoscale measurements to more familiar large-scale distances for visualization or educational purposes.
