Convert attoliter to gigaliter
Please provide values below to convert attoliter [aL] to gigaliter [GL], or Convert gigaliter to attoliter.
1 aL = 1.0000e-27 GL. To convert attoliter to gigaliter, multiply the value by 1.0000e-27; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GL = 1.0000e+27 aL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aL = 1.0000e-27 GL
- 1 GL = 1.0000e+27 aL
- 10 aL = 1.0000e-26 GL
- 100 aL = 1.0000e-25 GL
How to Convert Attoliter to Gigaliter
1 aL = 1e-27 GL
Example: convert 15 aL to GL:
15 aL = 15 × 1e-27 GL = 1.5e-26 GL

Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
Gigaliter
A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume equal to one billion liters (10^9 liters).
History/Origin
The gigaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large-scale volume measurements, especially in environmental and industrial contexts, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Gigaliters are used to measure large quantities of liquids, such as water resources, in environmental studies, water management, and large-scale industrial processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attoliter in gigaliter?
1 attoliter (aL) = 1.0000e-27 gigaliter (GL).
How do you convert attoliter to gigaliter?
Multiply the attoliter value by 1.0000e-27. For example, 25 aL × 1.0000e-27 = 2.5000e-26 GL.
What is 10 attoliter in gigaliter?
10 aL = 1.0000e-26 GL.
Which unit is larger, the attoliter or the gigaliter?
The gigaliter is the larger unit: 1 aL equals only 1.0000e-27 GL.
