About Converting Revolutions per second to Nanohertz
Revolutions per second and Nanohertz 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: Revolutions per second, and nanohertz is 1e-9 hertz units.
Formula
nanohertz = revolutions per second × 1000000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 revolutions per second equals 1 base unit, and 1 nanohertz equals 1e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct revolutions per second-to-nanohertz factor of 1000000000.
Simple example
1 rps × 1000000000 = 1,000,000,000 nHz
1 revolutions per second = 1,000,000,000 nanohertz.
Real-world example
1,000 rps × 1000000000 = 1,000,000,000,000 nHz
1,000 revolutions per second = 1,000,000,000,000 nanohertz.

Reverse conversion: Nanohertz to Revolutions per second
1 nHz × 1e-9 = 1e-9 rps
1 nanohertz = 1e-9 revolutions per second.
revolutions per second = nanohertz × 1e-9

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