What are Atomic Mass Unit and Petagram

Definition of Atomic Mass Unit

An Atomic Mass Unit (amu) is a standard unit of mass that quantifies the mass of atoms or molecules. It is defined as one twelfth (1/12) of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 at rest and in its ground state. One amu is equivalent to approximately 1.66053906660 x 10^-27 kilograms.

Definition of Petagram

A Petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to 10^15 grams, or one quadrillion grams. It is commonly used to represent very large quantities of mass, such as in geophysical or astronomical contexts, where massive objects or quantities of matter are discussed and quantified.

Conversion of Atomic Mass Unit to Petagram

1 amu = 1.66053906660 x 10^-42 Pg
1 Pg = 6.02214076 x 10^41 amu

Example 1:
convert 12 amu to Pg:
12 amu = 12 × 1.66053906660 x 10^-42 Pg = 1.99264687992 x 10^-41 Pg

Example 2:
convert 50 amu to Pg:
50 amu = 50 × 1.66053906660 x 10^-42 Pg = 8.30269533300 x 10^-41 Pg

History of Atomic Mass Unit and Petagram
