What are Picopascal and Bar

A picopascal is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to one trillionth of a pascal. The pascal is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. The prefix 'pico-' denotes a factor of 10^-12, emphasizing the minuteness of the measurement. Picopascals are used in scientific contexts where extremely low pressures need to be quantified.

A bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not an SI unit, defined as exactly 100,000 pascals. It is roughly equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. 'Bar' comes from the Greek word 'baros,' meaning weight. The bar is commonly used in meteorology, oceanography, and for industrial pressure measurements, where a more manageable unit size is beneficial compared to the pascal.
