Examples

1

Consider that a high-end electric car has a maximum range of 400 kilometers on a single charge.
Convert this range from kilometers to Gigameters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = 400

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kilometers to gigameters is:

Length(Gigameters) = Length(Kilometers) / 1000000

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Kilometers) = 400 in the above formula.

Length(Gigameters) = 400 / 1000000

Length(Gigameters) = 0.0004

Final Answer:

Therefore, 400 km is equal to 0.0004 Gm.

The length is 0.0004 Gm, in gigameters.

2

Consider that a private helicopter has a flight range of 150 kilometers.
Convert this range from kilometers to Gigameters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = 150

Formula:

The formula to convert length from kilometers to gigameters is:

Length(Gigameters) = Length(Kilometers) / 1000000

Substitution:

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

Length(Gigameters) = 150 / 1000000

Length(Gigameters) = 0.00015

Final Answer:

Therefore, 150 km is equal to 0.00015 Gm.

The length is 0.00015 Gm, in gigameters.

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.

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.
