Convert gigameter to terameter
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to terameter [Tm], or Convert terameter to gigameter.
1 Gm = 0.001 Tm. To convert gigameter to terameter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Tm = 1000 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 = 0.001 Tm
- 1 Tm = 1000 Gm
- 10 Gm = 0.01 Tm
- 100 Gm = 0.1 Tm
How to Convert Gigameter to Terameter
1 Gm = 0.001 Tm
Example: convert 15 Gm to Tm:
15 Gm = 15 × 0.001 Tm = 0.015 Tm

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.
Terameter
A terameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "tera-" for 10^12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The terameter is used for measuring distances within our solar system, such as the distances of outer planets from the Sun.
