How to Convert Gigameters to Meters

1 Gm = 1000000000 m

1 m = 1e-9 Gm

Example: convert 10 Gm to m: 10 Gm = 10 × 1000000000 Gm = 10000000000 Gm

Gigameters

Definition: A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10⁹ meters, used in astronomy and planetary science.

History: Gigameters are useful for measuring distances within the solar system, such as the distance between Earth and the Moon or between planets. While not commonly used in everyday measurements, they are important in scientific contexts.

Meters

Definition: A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.

History: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. In 1983, it was redefined in terms of the speed of light to ensure greater precision in scientific measurements.
