About the gauss
The gauss (G) is a Other unit of magnetic flux density. The CGS unit still used in magnet specifications; Earth's field is roughly 0.5 G.
About the tesla
The tesla (T) is a SI unit of magnetic flux density.
Where this conversion is used
Converting gauss to teslas comes up when magnet selection, MRI, motor design, and geomagnetic surveys. Earth's field is roughly half a gauss, so most everyday magnet readings sit in the gauss-to-kilogauss range rather than in tesla.
