Gals to milligals

Type a value in Gal to get it in mGal instantly.

1,000mGal

That's 10× as strong as a mountain range, while the Earth itself is 978× stronger. A 70 kg person would weigh about 71.38 g more or less.

What it means

How big is that anomaly?

Survey readings must be corrected for latitude, altitude, tides and terrain before the remaining anomaly means anything about the rock below.

The math

How to convert Gal to mGal

To convert gals to milligals, multiply by 1,000.

Example: 1 Gal × 1,000 = 1,000 mGal.

In the other direction, 1 mGal = 0.001 Gal.
