Examples
1
Consider that a luxury yacht has a length of 50 meters. Convert this length from meters to Gigameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in meters is:
Length(Meters) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert length from meters to gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = Length(Meters) × 1e-9
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Meters) = 50 in the above formula.
Length(Gigameters) = 50 × 1e-9
Length(Gigameters) = 5e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 50 m is equal to 5e-8 Gm.
The length is 5e-8 Gm, in gigameters.
2
Consider that a private jet has a wingspan of 28 meters. Convert this wingspan from meters to Gigameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in meters is:
Length(Meters) = 28
Formula:
The formula to convert length from meters to gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = Length(Meters) × 1e-9
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Meters) = 28 in the above formula.
Length(Gigameters) = 28 × 1e-9
Length(Gigameters) = 2.8e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 28 m is equal to 2.8e-8 Gm.
The length is 2.8e-8 Gm, in gigameters.

Meters
A meter (m) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One meter is equivalent to approximately 3.2808 feet.
The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
Meters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. Most countries have adopted the meter as the standard unit of measurement for length.
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.
