Both meters and gigameters are units of measuring length; the meter is smaller than the gigameter, but the ratio of meters to gigameters is fixed in the metric system, so it is very easy to convert meters into gigameters. In order to convert gigameters to meters, one must use an equivalency equation. Since 1 meter (m) of length is equivalent to 0.0000000010 gigameters (Gm) in length, the equation is 1Gm= 1,000,000m.
To convert kilometers to gigameters, you need to divide by 1 billion because 1 gigameter is equal to 1 billion meters. Therefore, 389,000 kilometers is equal to 0.389 gigameters.
The base unit of length is the meter (m). A kilometre (km) is 1000 meters. So 149,600,000km can also be expressed as 149,600,000,000m. 149,600,000km would be more accurately written in gigameters (Gm). This would be written as 149.6Gm.
There are 1,000,000,000 gigameters in 1,000,000,000,000 micrometers.
To convert meters to micrometers, you multiply by 1,000,000. So, 0.056915 meters is equal to 56,915 micrometers.
0.001 gigameters
To convert from meters to gigameters, you would use the conversion factor 1 gigameter (Gm) = 1,000,000,000 meters. This conversion factor is based on the metric system, where "giga" represents 10^9. Therefore, to convert a measurement from meters to gigameters, you would divide the number of meters by 1,000,000,000.
There are 100,000,000 gigameters in 100,000,000,000 micrometers. To convert micrometers to gigameters, you would divide by 10^13, since 1 gigameter is equal to 10^9 meters and 1 meter is equal to 10^6 micrometers.
3,900,000,000 meters
1 meter=1.0x10^-9 gigameters
micrometres < metres < gigametres
The Sun has a diameter of about 1.4 million kilometers, which is equivalent to 1.4 x 10^9 meters.
To convert kilometers to gigameters, you need to divide by 1 billion because 1 gigameter is equal to 1 billion meters. Therefore, 389,000 kilometers is equal to 0.389 gigameters.
The base unit of length is the meter (m). A kilometre (km) is 1000 meters. So 149,600,000km can also be expressed as 149,600,000,000m. 149,600,000km would be more accurately written in gigameters (Gm). This would be written as 149.6Gm.
There are 1,000,000,000 gigameters in 1,000,000,000,000 micrometers.
1 meter = 1.0 × 10-9 gigameters
One gigameter (Gm) is equal to one billion meters. The distance from the Earth to the sun is 149,600,000,000 meters, or 149.6 Gm.
1 gigametre = 109 metres so 3 gigametres = 3*109 metres.
