Convert gigameter to fermi
Please provide values below to convert gigameter [Gm] to fermi [F, f], or Convert fermi to gigameter.
How to Convert Gigameter to Fermi
1 Gm = 1e+24 F, f
Example: convert 15 Gm to F, f:
15 Gm = 15 × 1e+24 F, f = 1.5e+25 F, f

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.
Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
