0.1 nanometers.

Explanation:

A nanometer is $10^{- 9}$ $10^-9$ meters.

If you convert $1$ $1$ cm into $10^{- 2}$ $10^-2$ meters, then $10^{- 8} (10^{- 2})$ $10^-8 (10^-2)$ meters would become $10^{- 10}$ $10^-10$ meters, and $10^{- 10}$ $10^-10$ meters converted to nanometers (times $10^{9}$ $10^9$ ) would be $0.1$ $0.1$ nanometers.
