What does the Yocto prefix represent?

Yocto (symbol y) is an SI prefix signifying a factor of 10^-24, used to denote extremely small quantities.

Why convert from Yocto to Atto units?

Because Atto units (10^-18) represent a larger scale than Yocto units (10^-24), converting helps express very small quantities in a more manageable way.

Where are Atto units commonly used?

Atto units find applications in areas such as ultrafast spectroscopy, nanoscale electronics, and precise mass measurements of nanoparticles.
