What does one dekagray represent?

One dekagray (daGy) equals 10 grays, where each gray represents one joule of energy absorbed per kilogram of a material.

When is petagray unit used?

Petagray (PGy) is used mainly for extremely large, often theoretical radiation doses in contexts like astrophysics and high-energy physics.

Why convert dekagray to petagray?

To relate practical radiation doses to ultra-large theoretical scales for modeling exceptional radiation events.
