Unit Story
Milligal
A milligal is one thousandth of a gal. It is sensitive enough for gravity surveys that help reveal underground structures and density changes.
Galileo
The galileo, usually called the gal, honors Galileo Galilei. Earth scientists use it and the smaller milligal for gravitational measurements.
