What is an exapascal?

An exapascal (EPa) is an SI derived unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extraordinarily large pressures in astrophysics and high-energy physics.

Why convert exapascal to gigapascal?

Converting exapascal to gigapascal helps interpret extreme pressure values in terms more commonly used in engineering, materials science, and experimental contexts.

Is gigapascal suitable for astrophysical pressures?

Gigapascal units are better suited for laboratory and engineering scales and may not always be appropriate for the extreme pressure scales found in astrophysics.
