A nanometer is a thousand times smaller than a micrometer, how many times smaller is a nanometer, than a meter?
==================
That makes no sense.
1 times smaller = zero (0).
How can it be 1000 times smaller?
----------------
People who don't know what they're talking about should stick to politics, not get involved with math.
==============
nano = 10e-9 = 1 billionth
-----
1 meter = 1,000 millimeters
1 meter = 1,000,000 microns
1 meter = 1,000,000,000 nanometers
1 meter = 1,000,000,000,000 picometers
