What is the equivalence between megapascal and picopascal?

One megapascal equals one quintillion picopascals (1 MPa = 10^18 pPa).

In which fields is converting MPa to pPa important?

Conversions are crucial in aerospace, materials testing, vacuum science, and precision instrumentation.

Why do converted values from MPa to pPa become extremely large numbers?

Because picopascal is 10^-12 pascals, vastly smaller than megapascal, so the scale difference is enormous.
