Convert gigameter to attometer
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to attometer [am], or Convert attometer to gigameter.
1 Gm = 1.0000e+27 am. To convert gigameter to attometer, multiply the value by 1.0000e+27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 am = 1.0000e-27 Gm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Gm = 1.0000e+27 am
- 1 am = 1.0000e-27 Gm
- 10 Gm = 1.0000e+28 am
- 100 Gm = 1.0000e+29 am
How to Convert Gigameter to Attometer
1 Gm = 1e+27 am
Example: convert 15 Gm to am:
15 Gm = 15 × 1e+27 am = 1.5e+28 am

Gigameter
A gigameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^9 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "giga-" for 10^9 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The gigameter is used for measuring interplanetary distances, for example, the distance between Earth and Mars.
Attometer
An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.
Current Use
The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
