Convert gigameter to picometer
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to picometer [pM], or Convert picometer to gigameter.
1 Gm = 1.0000e+21 pM. To convert gigameter to picometer, multiply the value by 1.0000e+21; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pM = 1.0000e-21 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+21 pM
- 1 pM = 1.0000e-21 Gm
- 10 Gm = 1.0000e+22 pM
- 100 Gm = 1.0000e+23 pM
How to Convert Gigameter to Picometer
1 Gm = 1e+21 pM
Example: convert 15 Gm to pM:
15 Gm = 15 × 1e+21 pM = 1.5e+22 pM

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.
Picometer
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
