Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does exagram/second measure?
-
Exagram per second quantifies the amount of mass passing a point each second, representing extremely large mass flow rates primarily used in astrophysics and planetary science.
-
When should I use milligram/day as a unit?
-
Milligram per day is ideal for expressing very small mass flow rates, such as drug excretion or low-level pollutant emissions, over a daily period.
-
Why convert from Eg/s to mg/day?
-
Converting from exagram/second to milligram/day helps translate very large mass flows into small, familiar units aligned with daily time scales, bridging different scientific measurement contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Exagram/second (Eg/s)
-
A unit of mass flow rate representing 10^18 grams per second, used for extremely large mass transfer rates.
-
Milligram/day (mg/d)
-
A unit indicating one milligram of mass transferred or accumulated over one day, typically used for small-scale mass flow rates.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing a given point or boundary in a specified time interval.
