Enter the number of gigavolts that you want to convert to nanovolts.
How to Convert Gigavolts to Nanovolts
The gigavolt and nanovolt are both units of voltage. By definition, 1 gigavolt equals exactly 1e18 nanovolts. This means to convert gigavolts to nanovolts, you multiply by 1e18.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 GV to nanovolts:
We need to convert gigavolts to nanovolts
Since 1 GV = 1e18 nV, multiply by 1e18
5 × 1e18 = 5e18
5 GV = 5e18 nV

About These Units
Gigavolt (GV)
A gigavolt (GV) equals 10⁹ volts. Found in cosmic ray acceleration, upper atmosphere electric potentials during thunderstorms, and theoretical particle physics. The ionosphere-Earth potential difference: ~300 kV (not GV). Terrestrial particle accelerators: <1 GV typically.
Nanovolt (nV)
A nanovolt (nV) equals 10⁻⁹ volts. Measures extremely small signals: SQUID magnetometer outputs, Johnson-Nyquist thermal noise (4 nV/√Hz per kΩ at 300K), precision voltage references. Low-noise amplifier specifications often cite nV/√Hz noise density.
