Why is the proton mass used for conversion instead of other atomic units?

The proton mass represents a fundamental particle’s invariant mass, making it useful for nuclear physics and particle physics calculations that require precise atomic scale measurements.

Can this converter handle both avoirdupois and troy ounces?

Yes, however the converter is based on the common avoirdupois ounce defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams. The troy ounce, used for precious metals, has a different gram value.

Is this conversion practical for everyday weighing tasks?

No, due to the extreme scale difference and resulting large numbers, the conversion is primarily intended for scientific and physics-related purposes rather than routine measurements.
