What is an attohertz?

An attohertz is a unit of frequency equal to 10^-18 hertz, representing cycles per second at extremely low rates, often used to describe very slow oscillations in astronomy or cosmology.

Why convert attohertz to millihertz?

Converting attohertz to millihertz allows comparison of ultra-low-frequency phenomena with low-frequency oscillations commonly observed in scientific fields such as helioseismology and geophysics.

Are values in millihertz easier to work with than those in attohertz?

Millihertz values are generally larger and more practical for many scientific analyses, though converted results from attohertz may still be extremely small and require careful handling.
