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.
Attovolt is 1e-18 volt units.
Result = input x 1e-9 / 1e-18.

About Converting Nanovolts to Attovolts
Nanovolt and Attovolt 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: Nanovolt is 1e-9 volt units, and attovolt is 1e-18 volt units.
Formula
attovolts = nanovolts × 1000000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanovolt equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 attovolt equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanovolt-to-attovolt factor of 1000000000.
Simple example
1 nV × 1000000000 = 1,000,000,000 aV
1 nanovolt = 1,000,000,000 attovolts.
Real-world example
120 nV × 1000000000 = 120,000,000,000 aV
120 nanovolts = 120,000,000,000 attovolts.

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

Frequently asked questions
How many attovolts are in 1 nanovolt?
1 nanovolt equals 1,000,000,000 attovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert nanovolt to attovolt?
Multiply the nanovolt value by 1000000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert attovolt back to nanovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 attovolt equals 1e-9 nanovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a nanovolt?
Nanovolt (nV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a attovolt?
Attovolt (aV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the nanovolt to attovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both nanovolt and attovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000000000 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.
