What does attogray per second measure?

Attogray per second measures absorbed radiation dose rate at extremely low levels, defined as 10^-18 gray per second.

When would I convert from aGy/s to GGy/s?

You convert aGy/s to GGy/s to compare extremely low dose rates with ultrahigh dose rates, often necessary in research bridging environmental monitoring and extreme radiation studies.

Are there challenges doing this conversion?

Yes, the large numerical difference (10^-27) can lead to very small or large numbers that require precise computational handling and consideration of detector accuracy.
