Convert gigameter to Electron radius (classical)
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to Electron radius (classical) [r_e], or Convert Electron radius (classical) to gigameter.
1 Gm = 3.5487e+23 r_e. To convert gigameter to Electron radius (classical), multiply the value by 3.5487e+23; to go the other way, divide by it (1 r_e = 2.8179e-24 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 = 3.5487e+23 r_e
- 1 r_e = 2.8179e-24 Gm
- 10 Gm = 3.5487e+24 r_e
- 100 Gm = 3.5487e+25 r_e
How to Convert Gigameter to Electron Radius (Classical)
1 Gm = 3.54869118661751e+23 r_e

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.
Electron Radius (Classical)
The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.
Current Use
The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.
