Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public. The Thou (also called Mil) is essential in precision engineering and manufacturing. For context, a standard sheet of paper is about 100 thou thick, while human hair measures approximately 20-30 thou in diameter. This unit is critical in machining tolerances, PCB design, and automotive engineering where exact measurements are crucial.
To convert between Gigameter (Gm) and Thou (Mil) (mil), use the following formulas:
1 Gigameter (Gm) = 39370078740157.48 Thou (Mil) (mil)
1 Thou (Mil) (mil) = 2.54e-14 Gigameter (Gm)
0.15 Gm = 0.15 * 39370078740157.48 mil = 5905511811023.621 mil
1.5 Gm = 1.5 * 39370078740157.48 mil = 59055118110236.22 mil
4 Gm = 4 * 39370078740157.48 mil = 157480314960629.9 mil
| Gigameter (Gm) | Thou (Mil) (mil) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 Gm | 3937007874015.748 mil |
| 1 Gm | 39370078740157.48 mil |
| 10 Gm | 393700787401574.75 mil |
| 100 Gm | 3937007874015747.5 mil |
