How to Convert Attojoules to Nanojoules
To convert attojoules to nanojoules, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 1e-9 nanojoules/attojoule.
Since one attojoule is equal to 1e-9 nanojoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The energy in nanojoules is equal to the energy in attojoules multiplied by 1e-9.
For example, here's how to convert 5 attojoules to nanojoules using the formula above.
How Many Nanojoules Are in an Attojoule?
There are 1e-9 nanojoules in an attojoule, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our attojoule to nanojoule calculator automatically converts your energy measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Attojoules and nanojoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is an Attojoule?
An attojoule is a unit of energy equal to 1/999,999,999,999,999,900 of a joule (1e-18 J). 10⁻¹⁸ Joules. [1]
The attojoule is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of energy. Attojoules can be abbreviated as aJ; for example, 1 attojoule can be written as 1 aJ.
When working with attojoules (aJ) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, attojoules (aJ) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale energy measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Nanojoule?
A nanojoule is a unit of energy equal to 1/1,000,000,000 of a joule (1e-9 J). One-billionth of a Joule. [2]
The nanojoule is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of energy. Nanojoules can be abbreviated as nJ; for example, 1 nanojoule can be written as 1 nJ.
In the metric system, "nano" is the standard SI prefix for billionths, or 10⁻⁹. This makes the nanojoule (nJ) a convenient decimal multiple of the joule (J).
In practice, nanojoules (nJ) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale energy measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting energy between attojoules (aJ) and nanojoules (nJ), keep full floating-point precision (1 aJ = 1e-9 nJ; 1 nJ = 1,000,000,000 aJ) during intermediate calculations and round only the final nanojoule figure to match your instrument tolerance.
