-
Femtogram per liter units are primarily meant for liquid-phase trace measurements
-
Applying these units to planetary density requires contextual understanding
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Earth's mean density represent?
-
It represents the planet's total mass divided by its total volume, averaged over the whole globe based on measured mass and radius.
-
Why use femtogram per liter units for Earth's density?
-
They allow expressing extremely small mass concentrations, making it easier to compare planetary density with ultratrace measurements in scientific research.
-
Are femtogram per liter units typically used for planetary densities?
-
No, these units are usually used for liquid-phase trace measurements and may need careful interpretation when applied to planetary density.
