What are Micron and Nanometer

Definition of Micron

A micron, also known as a micrometer, is a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter (1 µm = 1 x 10^-6 meters). It's commonly used in various scientific and engineering fields to measure microscopic distances.

Definition of Nanometer

A nanometer is an incredibly small unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one billionth of a meter (1 nm = 1 x 10^-9 meters). This unit is often used in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology to measure atomic and molecular structures.
