meter to gigameter
Please provide values below to convert meter [m] to gigameter [Gm], or change ↔.
meter [m]
Definition: The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Historyandorigin: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian. It was redefined several times, most recently in 1983 using the speed of light.
CurrentUse: The meter is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts around the world.
funfact: The word 'meter' comes from the Greek word 'metron,' meaning 'measure.'
gigameter [Gm]
Definition: A gigameter is a unit of length equal to 1 billion meters.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 20th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe very large distances.
funfact: The prefix 'giga-' comes from the Greek word 'gigas,' meaning 'giant,' as it represents (10^{9}).

How to Convert meter to gigameter
1 meter [m] = 1.E-9 gigameter [Gm]
1 gigameter [Gm] = 1000000000 meter [m]
we use cross multiplication method
meter [m] → gigameter [Gm]
1 → 1.E-9
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-9=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-9
