attonewton to dyne
Convert attonewton (aN) to dyne (dyn). Use an editable force converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 aN = 1e-13 dyn
Conversion formula
One attonewton equals 1e-13 dyne. Multiply your value in attonewton by this factor to get dyne. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 attonewton:5 × 1e-13 = 5e-13 dyn

About these measurements
Force describes an interaction that can change motion.
The base reference used here is the newton. One attonewton is 1e-18 base units; one dyne is 0.00001 base units.
Important distinctions
Gravitational force units use standard gravity, 9.80665 m/s².
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
