Examples
1
Consider that the distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 150 gigameters. Convert this distance from gigameters to Decimeters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = 150
Formula:
The formula to convert length from gigameters to decimeters is:
Length(Decimeters) = Length(Gigameters) × 1e+10
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Gigameters) = 150 in the above formula.
Length(Decimeters) = 150 × 1e+10
Length(Decimeters) = 1500000000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 150 Gm is equal to 1500000000000 dm.
The length is 1500000000000 dm, in decimeters.

Consider that the distance from Mars to Jupiter at their closest approach is about 550 gigameters. Convert this distance from gigameters to Decimeters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = 550
Formula:
The formula to convert length from gigameters to decimeters is:
Length(Decimeters) = Length(Gigameters) × 1e+10
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Gigameters) = 550 in the above formula.
Length(Decimeters) = 550 × 1e+10
Length(Decimeters) = 5500000000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 550 Gm is equal to 5500000000000 dm.
The length is 5500000000000 dm, in decimeters.

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.
Decimeters
A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One decimeter is equivalent to 0.1 meters or approximately 3.937 inches.
The decimeter is defined as one-tenth of a meter, making it a convenient measurement for intermediate lengths.
Decimeters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. They provide a useful scale for measurements that are larger than centimeters but smaller than meters, and are commonly used in educational settings and certain industries.
