What does gigagray (GGy) measure?

Gigagray measures the energy of ionizing radiation absorbed per unit mass at an extremely large scale, equal to 10^9 grays.

How is one teragray (TGy) defined?

One teragray equals 10^12 grays, representing an extremely large radiation absorbed dose used in high-energy and extreme radiation contexts.

Why convert gigagray to teragray?

Converting helps express massive radiation doses on a scale that suits theoretical modeling and comparisons in astrophysics or nuclear engineering.
