What is the Formula to convert Gigameters to Astronomical Units?

The formula to convert given length from Gigameters to Astronomical Units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Gigameters) / 149.59787070600768

Substitute the given value of length in gigameters, i.e., Length(Gigameters) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in astronomical units, i.e., Length(Astronomical Units).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that the distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 150 gigameters.
Convert this distance from gigameters to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in gigameters is:

Length(Gigameters) = 150

Formula:

The formula to convert length from gigameters to astronomical units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Gigameters) / 149.59787070600768

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Gigameters) = 150 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 150 / 149.59787070600768

Length(Astronomical Units) = 1.0027

Final Answer:

Therefore, 150 Gm is equal to 1.0027 AU.

The length is 1.0027 AU, in astronomical units.

2

Consider that the distance from Mars to Jupiter at their closest approach is about 550 gigameters.
Convert this distance from gigameters to Astronomical Units.

Answer:

Given:

The length in gigameters is:

Length(Gigameters) = 550

Formula:

The formula to convert length from gigameters to astronomical units is:

Length(Astronomical Units) = Length(Gigameters) / 149.59787070600768

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Gigameters) = 550 in the above formula.

Length(Astronomical Units) = 550 / 149.59787070600768

Length(Astronomical Units) = 3.6765

Final Answer:

Therefore, 550 Gm is equal to 3.6765 AU.

The length is 3.6765 AU, in astronomical units.

Gigameters

A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One gigameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192 miles.

The gigameter is defined as one billion meters, making it a measurement for extremely large distances, often used in astronomical contexts.

Gigameters are used in fields such as astronomy and space science to describe distances on a scale larger than megameters. They offer a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial bodies and in large-scale cosmic phenomena.

Astronomical Units

An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of length used in astronomy to measure distances within our solar system. One astronomical unit is equivalent to approximately 149,597,870.7 kilometers or about 92,955,807.3 miles.

The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Astronomical units are used to express distances between celestial bodies within the solar system, such as the distances between planets and their orbits. They provide a convenient scale for describing and comparing distances in a way that is more manageable than using kilometers or miles.
