How to convert atomic units of length to gigameters
1 a.u. of length is equal to 5.291772109 × 10⁻²⁰ gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 1.889726125 × 10¹⁹ atomic units of length. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = atomic units of length × 5.291772109 × 10⁻²⁰
gigameters = atomic units of length ÷ 1.889726125 × 10¹⁹Example: convert 1 a₀ to Gm: 1 × 5.291772109 × 10⁻²⁰ = 5.291772109 × 10⁻²⁰ Gm.
