What is the Formula to convert Gigameters to Kilometers?

The formula to convert given length from Gigameters to Kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Gigameters) × 1000000

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 kilometers, i.e., Length(Kilometers).

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 Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The length in gigameters is:

Length(Gigameters) = 150

Formula:

The formula to convert length from gigameters to kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Gigameters) × 1000000

Substitution:

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

Length(Kilometers) = 150 × 1000000

Length(Kilometers) = 150000000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 150 Gm is equal to 150000000 km.

The length is 150000000 km, in kilometers.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The length in gigameters is:

Length(Gigameters) = 550

Formula:

The formula to convert length from gigameters to kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Gigameters) × 1000000

Substitution:

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

Length(Kilometers) = 550 × 1000000

Length(Kilometers) = 550000000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 550 Gm is equal to 550000000 km.

The length is 550000000 km, in kilometers.

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.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
