What is a gigameter used for?

A gigameter is an SI derived unit of length equal to one billion meters, used mainly to express very large distances such as those within the Solar System and between celestial bodies.

What does a nautical league (int.) represent?

A nautical league (int.) is a historical maritime length unit equal to three international nautical miles, used to describe distances at sea in older nautical contexts.

Why convert gigameters to nautical leagues (int.)?

This conversion is useful for interpreting and converting interplanetary distances into traditional maritime units for archival, academic, or historical maritime research.
