nanojoule to millijoule
Convert nanojoule (nJ) to millijoule (mJ). Use an editable energy converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 nJ = 0.000001 mJ
Conversion formula
One nanojoule equals 0.000001 millijoule. Multiply your value in nanojoule by this factor to get millijoule. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanojoule:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 mJ

About these measurements
Energy can be transferred through work, heating, or electrical processes.
The base reference used here is the joule. One nanojoule is 1e-9 base units; one millijoule is 0.001 base units.
Important distinctions
Calorie and BTU definitions vary. These pages label thermochemical calories and International Table BTUs explicitly.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert nJ to mJ?
Multiply the quantity in nJ by 0.000001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the millijoule to nanojoule converter.
