What is the exact conversion rate from gigaliters to teraliters?

One gigaliter (GL) equals 0.001 teraliters (TL).

When should I use teraliters instead of gigaliters?

Use teraliters when representing very large volumes on the scale of cubic kilometers, such as large lakes or national water resources.

Are gigaliters and teraliters suitable for everyday volume measurements?

No, these units are designed for very large-volume measurements and are not practical for everyday or small-scale fluid quantities.
