What does a femtopascal measure?

A femtopascal measures very small pressure values, equivalent to 10⁻¹⁵ pascals, used to describe ultra-low pressures such as those in astrophysics or high vacuum experiments.

How is centimeter mercury (0°C) defined?

Centimeter mercury (0°C) is a pressure unit defined by the hydrostatic pressure of a 1-centimeter column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity.

Why are conversions from femtopascal to centimeter mercury often very small?

Because femtopascal represents an extremely small pressure magnitude, converting it to centimeter mercury results in very small decimal values, reflecting the ultra-low pressures involved.
