What does gram per cubic meter measure?

Gram per cubic meter is a density unit representing the mass in grams within one cubic meter of volume, commonly used in environmental and air-quality measurements.

When is petagram per liter used?

Petagram per liter is used to express extraordinarily large mass densities, such as those found in neutron stars or theoretical nuclear physics.

How do I convert from g/m^3 to Pg/L?

Multiply the value in gram per cubic meter by 1e-18 to get the equivalent density in petagram per liter.
