A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.
