What is an attopascal used for?

An attopascal measures extremely small pressures commonly encountered in astrophysics, ultra-high vacuum research, and theoretical studies.

Why convert from attopascal to centipascal?

Converting to centipascal helps express very small pressures in a slightly larger unit that is more practical for sensor readings and experimental calibration.

Are there limits to measuring attopascal pressures?

Yes, attopascal pressures are often below the detection limit of most sensors, requiring specialized equipment and stable environments for accurate measurement.
