What does 1 femtogram represent?

A femtogram is a unit of mass equal to 10^-15 grams, used for measuring extremely tiny masses like individual viruses or nanoparticles.

When is the petagram unit typically used?

Petagram is used for expressing very large masses such as global carbon stocks or ice-sheet mass changes in geosciences and climate science.

Why is converting femtograms to petagrams challenging?

Because of the huge difference in scale (10^-30), resulting in very small values that may be difficult to read and interpret.
