Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (spat) The spat is an informal unit of distance formerly used by astronomers. The spat is equal to the terameter (Tm, or 10E12 meters). This is equivalent to about 6.6846 astronomical units. The origin of this usage is not clear; "spat" may be an acronym for "space unit" or "space-time". Unit Definition (gigameter) The Gigameter (or Gigametre) a metric unit of distance equal to one million kilometers or about 621,371.2 miles. It is seldom used, but this unit would be a good yardstick for the inner Solar System: the distance from the earth to the sun is about 149.60 gigameters.
