What is stone (US) used for?

Stone (US) is a traditional British unit of mass equal to 14 pounds, often used to report body weight informally in the UK and Ireland or in historical and agricultural weight records.

When is petagram [Pg] typically used?

Petagram [Pg] is an SI mass unit used in geosciences and climate science for very large masses like global carbon stocks or ice-sheet changes.

Why convert stone (US) to petagram?

Converting stone (US) to petagram helps translate smaller traditional units into massive SI units for global scientific assessments and environmental research.
