What does femtohertz measure?

Femtohertz measures extremely low frequencies equal to 10^-15 hertz, representing cycles per second with very long corresponding periods.

How is picohertz different from femtohertz?

Picohertz is a frequency unit equal to 10^-12 hertz, which is larger than femtohertz by a factor of 1000, used to describe oscillations on shorter long timescales.

Why convert from femtohertz to picohertz?

Converting femtohertz to picohertz helps translate very slow oscillations into a more practical unit for studying long-term geophysical and astrophysical processes.
