What does petagram per second measure?

It measures mass flow at an extremely large scale, representing the transport of one petagram per second, commonly used in geophysical and astrophysical contexts.

When would I need to convert Pg/s to mg/min?

This conversion is useful when comparing very large mass flows with very small flow rates, such as linking planetary-scale data to clinical dosing or laboratory measurements.

Are there any challenges in converting such different units?

Yes, due to the extreme differences in magnitude, conversions may be mostly theoretical and subject to floating-point precision limitations.
