What is an exapascal?

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

Why convert from exapascal to megapascal?

Conversion translates extremely large pressures into megapascal, a unit common in material science and engineering for practical measurement of pressure and stress.

Is the exapascal used in everyday engineering?

No, the exapascal is mostly theoretical and used in astrophysical contexts; engineering typically uses units like megapascal for manageable pressure values.
