Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an exagram used for?
-
An exagram is used to express very large masses, such as those of astronomical bodies or global-scale material quantities.
-
Why convert from exagram to atomic mass unit?
-
This conversion links extremely large mass scales to atomic-level masses, which is helpful in fields like physics and chemistry for detailed comparisons.
-
Are atomic mass units suitable for measuring large masses?
-
Atomic mass units are ideal for atomic and molecular scales but may not be practical for very large masses without using scientific notation.
Key Terminology
-
Exagram [Eg]
-
An SI-derived mass unit equal to 10^18 grams, used to express very large masses such as planetary or astronomical scale quantities.
-
Atomic mass unit [u]
-
A unit defined as one twelfth of the mass of a neutral carbon-12 atom, used for measuring atomic and molecular masses.
