Convert electrical units by family and calculate voltage, current, resistance, power, and energy with context values.
Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Nanovolt is 1e-9 volt units.
Result = input x 1e-18 / 1e-9.

About Converting Attovolts to Nanovolts
Attovolt and Nanovolt both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Attovolt is 1e-18 volt units, and nanovolt is 1e-9 volt units.
Formula
nanovolts = attovolts × 1e-9
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 attovolt equals 1e-18 base units, and 1 nanovolt equals 1e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct attovolt-to-nanovolt factor of 1e-9.
Simple example
1 aV × 1e-9 = 1e-9 nV
1 attovolt = 1e-9 nanovolts.
Real-world example
120 aV × 1e-9 = 1.2e-7 nV
120 attovolts = 1.2e-7 nanovolts.

Reverse conversion: Nanovolt to Attovolt
1e-9 nV × 1000000000 = 1 aV
1e-9 nanovolts = 1 attovolt.
attovolts = nanovolts × 1000000000

Frequently asked questions
How many nanovolts are in 1 attovolt?
1 attovolt equals 1e-9 nanovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert attovolt to nanovolt?
Multiply the attovolt value by 1e-9. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert nanovolt back to attovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 nanovolt equals 1,000,000,000 attovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a attovolt?
Attovolt (aV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a nanovolt?
Nanovolt (nV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the attovolt to nanovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both attovolt and nanovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-9 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
