What is a decigram (dg)?

A decigram is an SI-derived unit equal to one tenth of a gram (0.1 g), used to measure small masses with greater resolution than grams.

Why convert mass from decigrams to proton mass?

Converting from decigrams to proton mass allows expression of macroscopic masses in fundamental particle units, useful for nuclear and particle physics calculations.

How large is the proton mass compared to common mass units?

The proton mass is incredibly small, approximately 1.67262192369×10⁻²⁷ kilograms, requiring scientific notation for related conversions.
