Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between nanowatts and megawatts.
What is a nanowatt (nW)?
A nanowatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for nanowatt is nW. There are 1,000,000,000,000,000 nanowatts in a megawatt.
What is a megawatt (MW)?
A megawatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for megawatt is MW. There are 0.000000000000001 megawatts in a nanowatt.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from nanowatts to megawatts is:
megawatts = nanowatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from nanowatts to megawatts (nW to MW).
Nanowatt to Megawatt Conversion Example
Task: Convert 45,000,000,000,000 nanowatts to megawatts (show work) Formula: nanowatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000,000 = megawatts Calculations: 45,000,000,000,000 nanowatts ÷ 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 0.045 megawatts Result: 45,000,000,000,000 nanowatts is equal to 0.045 megawatts
