What is a wavelength in gigametres?

It is the distance between successive points of a wave expressed in gigametres, corresponding to extremely long wavelengths like those in planetary environments.

What does petahertz measure?

Petahertz is a frequency unit representing one quadrillion cycles per second, commonly used for very high-frequency phenomena such as ultraviolet light and ultrafast laser pulses.

Why is the conversion factor so small?

Because gigametre wavelengths correspond to extremely low frequencies, when converted to petahertz—which represent extremely high frequencies—the numerical value becomes very small.
