Convert Nanotesla to Milligauss
Type the number of nanoteslas that you wish to convert to milligauss.
How to Convert Nanoteslas to Milligauss
The nanotesla and milligauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 milligauss equals exactly 100000000000 nanoteslas. This means to convert nanoteslas to milligauss, you divide by 100000000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 nT to milligauss:
We need to convert nanoteslas to milligauss
Since 1 mG = 100000000000 nT, divide by 100000000000
5 ÷ 100000000000 = 5e-11
5 nT = 5e-11 mG

About These Units
Nanotesla (nT)
A nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ teslas, identical to the gamma unit. Used in geophysics, space physics, and magnetometry. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 nT. Geomagnetic storms cause variations of 100-1000 nT. Standard unit for geomagnetic surveys.
Milligauss (mG)
A milligauss (mG) equals 0.001 gauss or 0.1 microtesla. Used for environmental magnetic field measurements. Power lines: 1-100 mG at distance. Computer monitors: 1-25 mG. Background urban level: 0.5-4 mG. EMF meters often display milligauss.
