What does the nano prefix represent?

Nano (symbol n) is an SI prefix indicating a factor of 10⁻⁹ or one billionth of a unit.

How is the micro prefix defined?

Micro (symbol µ) denotes a factor of 10⁻⁶ or one millionth and is used to scale SI units accordingly.

Why convert from nano to micro units?

Converting from nano to micro helps scale values from one billionth to one millionth, facilitating easier interpretation and comparison in scientific and technical fields.
