What does centihertz measure?

Centihertz (cHz) is a unit of frequency equal to 0.01 hertz, representing one hundredth of a cycle per second.

How is wavelength in gigametres related to frequency?

Wavelength in gigametres corresponds to the spatial period of a wave, inversely related to frequency by the formula f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light.

Why use gigametres for wavelength?

Gigametres are useful for expressing extremely long wavelengths common in space physics and planetary scale wave phenomena.
