About Converting Gigameters to Points
Gigameter and Point both measure length. Specifically: Gigameter is 1000000000 meter units, and a desktop publishing point is 1/72 inch.
Formula
points = gigameters × 2.834646e+12
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gigameter equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 point equals 0.0003527777778 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gigameter-to-point factor of 2.834646e+12.
Simple example
1 Gm × 2.834646e+12 = 2.834646e+12 pt
1 gigameter = 2.834646e+12 points.
Real-world example
10 Gm × 2.834646e+12 = 2.834646e+13 pt
10 gigameters = 2.834646e+13 points.
