What does petagram per liter measure?

Petagram per liter measures mass density as petagrams of mass per liter of volume, used for extremely large densities such as in astrophysics.

Where is pound per cubic yard commonly used?

Pound per cubic yard is commonly used in construction and engineering to express mass contained within a cubic yard of material.

Why is the conversion value so large?

Because petagram per liter measures extremely dense matter, converting to pound per cubic yard leads to very large numerical values.
