Satoshi is the person or entity that idealized Bitcoin.

It is also the smallest Bitcoin subdivision right now, equivalent to 0.0000001 BTC, or almost nothing right now

The way I think of it is just like I would with a dollar. If 1 Bitcoin is similar to 1 dollar, than a satoshi is like a penny. Except a satoshi is a much much smaller fraction of a Bitcoin than a penny is to a dollar.

So a penny is 0.01 of a dollar.

And a satoshi is 0.00000001 of a bitcoin.

That is about all there is to it. So if you want to know how much a satoshi is worth in dollars than just use this:

Current Price of Bitcoin in Dollars * 0.00000001 = Value of a Satoshi In Dollars

Pretty simple stuff.

B'coz it's a/the unit of bitcoin.
how much is a satoshi worth?
1 satoshi = 0.00000001BTC
= 0.00001mBTC
= 0.01 uBTC
What are satoshi is it a unit?
Basically, satoshi was/is the founder of bitcoin & henceforth their name is also the "unit" of bitcoin.
P.S. It's like Newton discovered about "Force" & henceforth the S.I. unit of force is "Newton (N)"

Satoshi is the smallest division of BTC.

1 satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC

Also:
1 mBTC = 0.001 BTC
1 uBTC = 0.000001 BTC

Thanks that makes a lot of sense now
