What does 1 exagray per second represent?

It represents an absorbed dose rate of 10^18 grays per second, indicating the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per kilogram of matter very rapidly.

When is the microgray per second unit commonly used?

Microgray per second is often used in radiation protection, medical dosimetry, and environmental monitoring to measure relatively low absorbed dose rates.

Why convert from exagray/second to microgray/second?

Converting from exagray/second to microgray/second translates extremely large theoretical or astrophysical dose rates into the smaller, practical scale more commonly used in safety and medical applications.
