Why does converting from hectopascal to exapascal produce very small values?

Because the exapascal represents a pressure scale that is 10^18 pascals, much larger than the hectopascal, conversion yields very small decimal results.

Where is hectopascal commonly used?

Hectopascal is mostly used in meteorology, aviation, and atmospheric science to measure typical air pressures.

In what fields is the exapascal most applicable?

Exapascal applies to astrophysics, planetary science, and high-energy physics where extremely high pressures occur.
