  • A strand of human DNA is 2.5 nanometers in diameter

  • There are 25,400,000 nanometers in one inch

  • A human hair is approximately 80,000 - 100,000 nanometers wide

  • A single gold atom is about a third of a nanometer in diameter

  • On a comparative scale, if the diameter of a marble was one nanometer, then diameter of the Earth would be about one meter
