Convert gigameter to megameter
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to gigameter.
1 Gm = 1000 Mm. To convert gigameter to megameter, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mm = 0.001 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 = 1000 Mm
- 1 Mm = 0.001 Gm
- 10 Gm = 10000 Mm
- 100 Gm = 100000 Mm
How to Convert Gigameter to Megameter
1 Gm = 1000 Mm
Example: convert 15 Gm to Mm:
15 Gm = 15 × 1000 Mm = 15000 Mm

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.
Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
