A gigaton (Gt) is a unit of mass often used to measure the carbon dioxide emissions or the amount of ice loss from glaciers. It is equivalent to one billion metric tons, or 1,000,000,000,000 kilograms. This unit represents a colossal scale of mass and is widely used in scientific discussions about climate change and energy.
Definition of Gram-force CentimeterA gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque, which is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. It is defined as the torque resulting from a one-gram force applied perpendicularly to a one-centimeter lever arm. This unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to describe small rotational forces.

1 Gt = 9.80665 × 10^16 gf·cm
1 gf·cm = 1.01972e-17 Gt
Example 1:
Convert 2 Gt to gf·cm:
2 Gt = 2 × 9.80665 × 10^16 gf·cm = 1.96133 × 10^17 gf·cm
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 Gt to gf·cm:
0.5 Gt = 0.5 × 9.80665 × 10^16 gf·cm = 4.903325 × 10^16 gf·cm
The Gigaton to Gram-force Centimeter Converter is a tool that emerged from the need to translate vast units of mass into measures of torque.
