What is an exapascal used for?

An exapascal represents extremely high pressures typically encountered in astrophysics, planetary science, and high-energy physics research.

Why convert from exapascal to kilogram-force per square centimeter?

Converting to kilogram-force/sq. cm helps relate very large theoretical pressures to units used in hydraulic and mechanical engineering documentation.

Are there any challenges when converting between these units?

Yes, the extremely large values involved may cause precision issues, and the difference between SI and non-SI units requires careful interpretation.
