How to convert gigameters to meters
1 gigameter is equal to 1,000,000,000 meters, and 1 meter is equal to 1 × 10⁻⁹ gigameters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
meters = gigameters × 1,000,000,000
meters = gigameters ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁹Example: convert 1 Gm to m: 1 × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 m.
