What are Petagram and Centigram

Definition of Petagram

A Petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass in the metric system and is equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) grams. It's a rarely used unit as it represents an extremely large mass, typically used in scientific contexts involving Earth's mass or the mass of large quantities of substances.

Definition of Centigram

A Centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass that equals one hundredth (0.01 or 10^-2) of a gram. It is a small unit commonly used in medical and scientific fields to measure quantities of substances when precise small-scale weights are needed.

Conversion of Petagram to Centigram

1 Pg = 1e+17 cg
1 cg = 1e-17 Pg

Example 1:
Convert 2 Pg to cg:
2 Pg = 2 × 1e+17 cg = 2e+17 cg

Example 2:
Convert 0.5 Pg to cg:
0.5 Pg = 0.5 × 1e+17 cg = 5e+16 cg

History of Petagram and Centigram

A brief history of the Petagram to Centigram conversion might start with the adoption of the metric system in the late 18th century. Over time, the need for measuring vast quantities like the mass of planets or minute substances led to the creation of units like Petagrams and Centigrams.
