What is the conversion rate from millijoules to gigajoules?

1 millijoule equals 1e-12 gigajoules according to the defined conversion rate.

In which fields is converting millijoules to gigajoules useful?

This conversion is useful in scientific research for small energy measurements and in energy management sectors for large-scale energy data comparisons.

Why do conversion results often have very small decimal values?

Because millijoules and gigajoules differ by a factor of 10¹², converting leads to very small numbers requiring scientific notation for clarity.
