What does picogram per liter (pg/L) represent?

Picogram per liter is a unit of mass concentration expressing mass in picograms per liter of volume, used for ultra-trace measurements in various scientific fields.

In what fields is kilogram per cubic centimeter used?

Kilogram per cubic centimeter is mainly used in specialized fields like astrophysics for compact object densities or high-pressure materials research.

Why are the converted values so small when switching from pg/L to kg/cm³?

Because the conversion rate is 1 pg/L equals 1e-18 kg/cm³, reflecting the vast difference in scale between these units.
