What does 1 gigapascal represent?

1 gigapascal is a unit of pressure equal to 10^9 pascals, commonly used for very high pressures in engineering and materials science.

When would I use femtopascal measurements?

Femtopascal units measure extremely low pressures, often used in astrophysics and ultra-high vacuum experiments.

Why convert between gigapascal and femtopascal?

Converting between these units helps compare pressure values across vastly different scales from engineering to astrophysics.
