About Converting Ronnajoules to Gigajoules
Ronnajoule and Gigajoule both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: Ronnajoule is 1e+27 joule units, and gigajoule is 1000000000 joule units.
Formula
gigajoules = ronnajoules × 1e+18
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ronnajoule equals 1e+27 base units, and 1 gigajoule equals 1000000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ronnajoule-to-gigajoule factor of 1e+18.
Simple example
1 RJ × 1e+18 = 1e+18 GJ
1 ronnajoule = 1e+18 gigajoules.
Real-world example
100 RJ × 1e+18 = 1e+20 GJ
100 ronnajoules = 1e+20 gigajoules.
