Curious about large-scale distances in the universe? Our Femtometer to Petameter Converter, developed by Newtum, effortlessly bridges the vast gap between these units.
A femtometer, also known as a fermi, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one quadrillionth of a meter. That's 10 to the power of -15 meters. This minuscule measurement is used in the field of nuclear physics to express the size of atomic nuclei and the scale of quantum chromodynamics. With dimensions so tiny, the femtometer is a fundamental unit in the science of particles.
Definition of PetameterA petameter is an astronomical unit of length in the metric system that is equal to 10 to the power of 15 meters. To conceptualize, one petameter is approximately 105.7 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. It's a scale used in astrophysics and cosmology when discussing distances on a galactic or intergalactic level, allowing scientists to map the universe in terms of petameters.
| Femtometer (fm) | Petameter (Pm) |
|---|---|
| 1 fm | 1e-30 Pm |
| 10 fm | 1e-29 Pm |
| 100 fm | 1e-28 Pm |
| 1,000 fm | 1e-27 Pm |
| 10,000 fm | 1e-26 Pm |
| 100,000 fm | 1e-25 Pm |
| 1,000,000 fm | 1e-24 Pm |
| 10,000,000 fm | 1e-23 Pm |
| 100,000,000 fm | 1e-22 Pm |
| 1,000,000,000 fm | 1e-21 Pm |
1 fm = 1e-15 Pm
1 Pm = 1e+15 fm
Example 1:
convert 500 fm to Pm:
500 fm = 500 × 1e-15 Pm = 5e-13 Pm
Example 2:
convert 2,000,000 fm to Pm:
2,000,000 fm = 2,000,000 × 1e-15 Pm = 2e-9 Pm
The concept of converting between femtometers and petameters reflects the evolution of scientific understanding. Initially, femtometers were used in the realm of nuclear physics, while petameters are a newer addition, accommodating the vast expanses of space. This converter is the bridge between the nearly infinitesimal and the astoundingly vast, marking a significant milestone in our ability to comprehend and measure the universe.
Discover the practicality of the Femtometer to Petameter Converter and explore its applications in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
Converting the diameter of a proton (approximately 1.7 fm) to petameters:
1.7 fm = 1.7 × 1e-15 Pm = 1.7e-15 Pm
Example 2:
Converting the distance to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri (approximately 3.08567758149e+31 fm), to petameters:
3.08567758149e+31 fm = 3.08567758149e+31 × 1e-15 Pm = 3.08567758149e+16 Pm
