Convert micrometer to attometer
Enter a value below to convert micrometer [µm] to attometer [am]. Reverse conversion: Convert attometer to micrometer.
1 µm = 1e+12 am. To convert micrometer to attometer, multiply the value by 1e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 1.0000e-12 µm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Micrometer to Attometer: Quick Reference
- 1 µm = 1e+12 am
- 1 am = 1.0000e-12 µm
- 10 µm = 1.0000e+13 am
- 100 µm = 1.0000e+14 am
How to Convert Micrometer to Attometer
1 µm = 1000000000000 am
Example: convert 15 µm to am:
15 µm = 15 × 1000000000000 am = 15000000000000 am

Micrometer: Definition and Use
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Attometer: Definition and Use
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
Micrometer to Attometer: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 micrometer in attometer?
