What is a gallon (UK) defined as?

The gallon (UK), also called the imperial gallon, is exactly 4.54609 litres, commonly used in certain imperial measurement contexts.

When would I need to convert from gallon (UK) to gigaliter?

Conversions are useful for translating volumes from imperial units used historically or regionally into very large scales needed in water resource management and scientific fields.

Why are conversion results often very small numbers?

Because the gallon (UK) is much smaller than a gigaliter, the converted values tend to be tiny and frequently displayed using scientific notation.
