What does milligray per second represent?

Milligray per second measures the absorbed radiation dose rate at a scale suitable for medical and radiation protection uses.

Why would I convert mGy/s to GGy/s?

Converting to gigagray per second allows describing extremely high radiation dose rates found in nuclear simulations and advanced physics experiments.

Is the numerical value large or small after converting mGy/s to GGy/s?

It becomes a very small number because one milligray per second equals 1e-12 gigagray per second.
