Convert nanojoule to gigajoule
Please provide values below to convert nanojoule [nJ] to gigajoule [GJ], or Convert gigajoule to nanojoule.
1 nJ = 1.0000e-18 GJ. To convert nanojoule to gigajoule, multiply the value by 1.0000e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ = 1.0000e+18 nJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nJ = 1.0000e-18 GJ
- 1 GJ = 1.0000e+18 nJ
- 10 nJ = 1.0000e-17 GJ
- 100 nJ = 1.0000e-16 GJ
How to Convert Nanojoule to Gigajoule
1 nJ = 1e-18 GJ
Example: convert 15 nJ to GJ:
15 nJ = 15 × 1e-18 GJ = 1.5e-17 GJ

Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
Gigajoule
A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billion joules, used to measure large amounts of energy such as in power generation and fuel consumption.
History/Origin
The gigajoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standard measure for large-scale energy quantities, especially in scientific and industrial contexts, gaining prominence in the 20th century.
Current Use
Gigajoules are commonly used today to quantify energy in fields like energy production, consumption, and engineering, particularly for large-scale systems such as power plants, fuel storage, and energy audits.
