What is a carat used to measure?

A carat is primarily used to measure the mass of gemstones and pearls in the jewelry industry.

Why convert carats to exagrams?

Converting carats to exagrams helps integrate small gemstone weights into contexts involving very large mass scales, such as astronomy.

Are there limitations when converting carats to exagrams?

Yes, the conversion results in extremely small numbers and may have precision issues due to the scale difference.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to convert mass values from carats, a small unit used mainly in gemology, to exagrams, a very large unit suited for astronomical and planetary scales.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the mass value in carats (car, ct) in the input field.
Select carat as the original unit and exagram (Eg) as the target unit.
Click the convert button to get the corresponding mass in exagrams.

Key Features

Converts carats (used for gemstones) to exagrams (SI unit for extremely large masses).
Browser-based and simple to use with clear unit selection.
Ideal for integrating small gemstone weights into large-scale scientific contexts.

Examples

5 carats converts to 1 × 10^-18 exagrams (Eg).
100 carats converts to 2 × 10^-17 exagrams (Eg).

Common Use Cases

Weighing and valuing diamonds and other gemstones in the jewelry trade.
Expressing very small gemstone masses in a format compatible with vast astronomical or global mass figures.
Comparing jewelry-scale masses with planetary-scale mass data in scientific research.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool when combining gemstone weight data with large scale mass measurements.
Be cautious of very small numerical outputs which may affect interpretation.
Ensure unit selections accurately reflect the scale needed for your application.

Limitations

Conversion produces extremely small values due to vastly different unit scales.
May be impractical for everyday use outside specialized scientific or gemological fields.
Potential rounding or precision loss can occur when converting tiny masses into very large units.
