What does one centihertz represent?

One centihertz equals 0.01 cycles per second, quantifying low-frequency oscillations.

Why use picohertz units?

Picohertz measures extremely low-frequency oscillations over very long periods, suitable for astrophysical and climate phenomena.

Is this conversion useful for everyday frequency measurements?

No, this conversion is tailored for specialized fields studying ultra-low-frequency signals, not typical daily uses.
