About Converting Nanohertz to Attohertz
Nanohertz and Attohertz both describe how fast something cycles or rotates, and the conversion is a routine part of reading a car tachometer or motor spec sheet against a scientific frequency figure. Specifically: Nanohertz is 1e-9 hertz units, and attohertz is 1e-18 hertz units.
Formula
attohertz = nanohertz × 1000000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanohertz equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 attohertz equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanohertz-to-attohertz factor of 1000000000.
Simple example
1 nHz × 1000000000 = 1,000,000,000 aHz
1 nanohertz = 1,000,000,000 attohertz.
Real-world example
1,000 nHz × 1000000000 = 1e+12 aHz
1,000 nanohertz = 1e+12 attohertz.

Frequently asked questions
How many attohertz are in 1 nanohertz?
1 nanohertz equals 1,000,000,000 attohertz, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert nanohertz to attohertz?
Multiply the nanohertz value by 1000000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert attohertz back to nanohertz?
Use the reverse factor: 1 attohertz equals 1e-9 nanohertz. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a nanohertz?
Nanohertz (nHz) is a unit of frequency.
What is a attohertz?
Attohertz (aHz) is a unit of frequency.
Is the nanohertz to attohertz conversion exact?
Yes. Both nanohertz and attohertz 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.
