What is a millibar used for?

The millibar is commonly used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to express air pressure, such as reporting sea-level and surface atmospheric pressures on weather maps.

Where is nanopascal commonly applied?

Nanopascal is used to express extremely small pressures in scientific fields like space physics, including solar-wind dynamic pressure measurements, and engineering disciplines involving ultra-high vacuum systems.

How do I convert millibar to nanopascal?

To convert millibar to nanopascal, multiply the millibar value by 100000000000 since 1 millibar equals 100 billion nanopascal.
