What does 1 exagray represent in terms of gray?

1 exagray equals 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 grays, representing an extremely large absorbed dose.

In which fields is converting from exagray to gray relevant?

This conversion is mainly used in astrophysics, high-energy physics, nuclear explosion studies, and radiation protection research.

Why isn’t the exagray commonly used in practical dosimetry?

Due to its massive size and measurement precision limits, exagray is rarely applied outside theoretical contexts; practical dosimetry uses smaller gray multiples.
