What does square millimeter per second measure?

It is a unit of kinematic viscosity measuring the rate at which momentum diffuses through a fluid, commonly used in engine oils and hydraulic fluids.

What is a nanostoke used for?

Nanostoke is a unit of kinematic viscosity used to characterize very low-viscosity fluids such as those in microfluidics and thin-film lubrication.

Why is the conversion factor between these units so large?

Because nanostokes measure viscosity at a much smaller scale, the conversion involves a factor of ten million, reflecting the difference in unit scales.
