  • The gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units, defined as 109 meters using the SI prefix system. Gigameters are rarely seen in practical use. They are too big for any terrestrial lengths, but the unit can be used in astronomy, like a planet's distance from its star. However gigameter-scale distances are usually specified in astronomical units (AU) or in (millions of) kilometers. The following planets list average distances from the Sun in gigameters: Other examples of the uses of gigameters:

However gigameter-scale distances are usually specified in astronomical units (AU) or in (millions of) kilometers. The following planets list average distances from the Sun in gigameters: * Mercury: 57.9 Gm * Venus: 108.2 Gm * Earth: 149.6 Gm * Mars: 227.9 Gm * Jupiter: 778.4 Gm * Saturn: 1425 Gm * Uranus: 2867 Gm * Neptune: 4498 Gm Other examples of the uses of gigameters: * Osiris' average distance from the parent star HD 209458 is 6.7 Gm. * PSR J1719-1438 b's average distance from the pulsar PSR J1719-1438 is 0.666 Gm, which is the smallest orbit of any known exoplanets. * The mean diameter of the Sun is 1.393 Gm. * The mean diameter of red supergiant star Betelgeuse is 1,302 Gm.
