rad to gigagray
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to gigagray [GGy], or change ↔.
rad [rd]
Definition: A unit used to measure the absorbed dose of radiation, indicating the energy deposited per unit mass of tissue.
Historyandorigin: The rad (radiation absorbed dose) was introduced in the 1950s and was the standard unit for absorbed dose until the adoption of the gray (Gy).
CurrentUse: Though largely replaced by the gray, the rad is still occasionally used in certain contexts, especially in older literature.
funfact: One rad equals 0.01 gray (Gy), a unit now used more widely for measuring radiation exposure!
gigagray [GGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 10^9 grays.
Historyandorigin: Gigagray units are used for very high radiation doses, particularly in theoretical models and large-scale laboratory experiments.
CurrentUse: Can be applied in large particle accelerators or radiation research involving enormous energy levels.
funfact: Gigagrays are on the higher end of the scale, typically representing extreme levels of radiation that can affect entire regions!

How to Convert rad to gigagray
1 rad [rd] = 1.E-11 gigagray [GGy]
1 gigagray [GGy] = 100000000000 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → gigagray [GGy]
1 → 1.E-11
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-11=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-11
