Convert are to square nanometer
Please provide values below to convert are [a] to square nanometer [nm^2], or Convert square nanometer to are.
How to Convert Are to Square Nanometer
1 a = 1e+20 nm^2
Example: convert 15 a to nm^2:
15 a = 15 × 1e+20 nm^2 = 1.5e+21 nm^2
Are to Square Nanometer Conversion Table

Are
The are is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters.
History/Origin
The are was introduced in France in the 19th century as a convenient unit for measuring land area, particularly in agriculture and real estate.
Current Use
The are is still used in some countries for land measurement, especially in real estate and agriculture, but has largely been replaced by the hectare in most contexts.
Square Nanometer
A square nanometer (nm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one nanometer each.
History/Origin
The nanometer as a unit of length has been used since the development of nanotechnology in the late 20th century, with the concept of measuring extremely small areas like nm^2 emerging alongside advancements in microscopy and nanoscience.
Current Use
Square nanometers are primarily used in nanotechnology, materials science, and semiconductor industries to quantify extremely small surface areas, such as the dimensions of nanomaterials, thin films, and microscopic structures.
