What is the proton mass used for in conversions?

Proton mass is used to relate macroscopic mass measurements to fundamental particle scales, essential in nuclear physics, particle physics, and atomic-scale calculations.

Why are the conversion numbers so large when converting kilograms to proton mass?

Because the proton mass is extremely small compared to a kilogram, converting results in very large numerical values.

Is this conversion practical for everyday weight measurements?

No, this conversion is primarily scientific and theoretical, designed for specialized fields rather than routine mass measurement.
