How many microteslas are in one gauss?

One gauss equals 100 µT. The formula is µT = G × 100.

How do I convert gauss to microteslas?

Multiply the value in gauss by 100. For example, 100 × 100 = 10,000 — so 100 G = 10,000 µT.

Magnetic flux density

Why your fridge magnet is stronger than the Earth

A compass needle points north flawlessly, guiding sailors for centuries — yet the field that steers it is hundreds of times weaker than a cheap magnetic toy on a fridge door. This is a journey across the scale of magnetic flux density: from the quiver of a compass, through the mighty teslas of an MRI scanner, to cosmic magnetars.
