Discover an efficient way to convert gigatons to kiloelectron-volts using Newtum's Gt to keV converter. Engage with this intuitive tool and satisfy your scientific conversion needs.
A gigaton (Gt) is a unit of mass often used to measure the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. It is equivalent to one billion metric tons. This unit is crucial in climate studies, representing significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Understanding gigatons is key in grasping the scale of human impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate.
Definition of Kiloelectron-voltA kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is commonly used in the fields of physics and chemistry to describe the energy of particles such as electrons and photons. One keV is equivalent to 1.602×10^-16 joules. This unit is particularly useful in understanding and describing processes at the atomic and subatomic levels.
| Gigaton (Gt) | Kiloelectron-volt (keV) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 Gt | 5.60958e+36 keV |
| 1 Gt | 5.60958e+37 keV |
| 2 Gt | 1.12192e+38 keV |
| 5 Gt | 2.80479e+38 keV |
| 10 Gt | 5.60958e+38 keV |
| 20 Gt | 1.12192e+39 keV |
| 50 Gt | 2.80479e+39 keV |
| 100 Gt | 5.60958e+39 keV |
| 200 Gt | 1.12192e+40 keV |
| 500 Gt | 2.80479e+40 keV |
1 Gt = 5.60958e+37 keV
1 keV = 1.783e-38 Gt
Example 1:
Convert 2 Gt to keV:
2 Gt = 2 × 5.60958e+37 keV = 1.12192e+38 keV
Example 2:
Convert 5 Gt to keV:
5 Gt = 5 × 5.60958e+37 keV = 2.80479e+38 keV
