What is the short ton (US)?

The short ton, commonly known as the US ton, is a mass unit used primarily in the United States defined as exactly 2,000 avoirdupois pounds.

Why convert ton (short) to Planck mass?

Converting from ton (short) to Planck mass helps relate earthly mass scales to fundamental physics scales in quantum gravity and theoretical studies.

Is this conversion useful for everyday measurements?

No, since Planck mass is extremely small, this conversion produces very large numbers and is mainly intended for theoretical or scientific purposes.
