What does converting from megapascal to nanopascal help with?

It helps compare pressure values across vastly different magnitudes, useful in fields like engineering and space physics.

Why is the conversion factor between MPa and nPa so large?

Because 1 megapascal equals one million pascals, and 1 nanopascal equals 10^-9 pascals, their ratio is 10^15.

Are nanopascal values common in everyday engineering?

No, nanopascal units are generally relevant only in specialized low-pressure environments.
