The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers. Astronomical scale (Moon's orbit = ~0.38 Gm). Useful for space agency data but rarely searched by the public.
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Gigameter (Gm), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 1e-7 Gigameter (Gm)
1 Gigameter (Gm) = 10000000 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 1e-7 Gm = 1e-7 Gm
2 hm = 2 * 1e-7 Gm = 2e-7 Gm
5 hm = 5 * 1e-7 Gm = 5e-7 Gm
10 hm = 10 * 1e-7 Gm = 0.000001 Gm
| Hectometer (hm) | Gigameter (Gm) |
|---|---|
| 1 hm | 1e-7 Gm |
| 2 hm | 2e-7 Gm |
| 5 hm | 5e-7 Gm |
| 10 hm | 0.000001 Gm |
| 20 hm | 0.000002 Gm |
| 50 hm | 0.0000049999999999999996 Gm |
