Nano- means 10^-9.
Nanometer is 10^-9 meters. A very small length, about the length of 10 atoms. A human hair is about 100,000 nanometers thick.

Nano means 10^-9 = 0.000000001
so 1 nanometer is 10^-9 m

Yes, it's a billionth of a meter, as many have noted, but it might be more useful to think of it as 10 Angstroms, which is on the order of the distance between atoms in solids.
