What is a nanometer used to measure?

A nanometer quantifies very small sizes such as wavelengths of light, semiconductor features, and molecular dimensions like DNA.

Why is the US survey mile different from a standard mile?

The US survey mile is based on a specific definition tied to the US survey foot, preserving historical surveying measures in the United States.

Can this conversion be used worldwide?

This converter is best suited for US-based surveying contexts, as the US survey mile differs from international mile definitions.
