How to convert gigameters to kiloparsecs
1 gigameter is equal to 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹¹ kiloparsecs, and 1 kiloparsec is equal to 30,856,775,810 gigameters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
kiloparsecs = gigameters × 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹¹
kiloparsecs = gigameters ÷ 30,856,775,810Example: convert 1 Gm to kpc: 1 × 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹¹ = 3.240779289 × 10⁻¹¹ kpc.

About the gigameter
A gigameter is one billion meters. The Moon orbits about 0.38 Gm from Earth, and the Sun's diameter is about 1.39 Gm.
Symbol: Gm · 1 Gm = 1,000,000,000 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the kiloparsec
A kiloparsec is 1,000 parsecs (about 3,262 light-years). The Sun is roughly 8 kpc from the center of the Milky Way.
Symbol: kpc · 1 kpc = 3.085677581 × 10¹⁹ m · Category: Astronomical
