Well, there's a lot of particles that are "nano" in size. And "nano" isn't a size; nano is a unit prefix.

Even the earth is smaller than 1 nano parsec. So the meaning is irrelevant when earth is a nano "particle" (on the parsec scale).

Meaningless jibber jabber.

    Pedantic. When people say micro-scale/nano-scale they mean "measured in micrometers/nanometers". So a nanoparticle is a particle with a size that makes nanometers the most convenient unit.
