Convert attonewton to petanewton
Please provide values below to convert attonewton [aN] to petanewton [PT], or Convert petanewton to attonewton.
1 aN = 1.0000e-33 PT. To convert attonewton to petanewton, multiply the value by 1.0000e-33; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PT = 1.0000e+33 aN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aN = 1.0000e-33 PT
- 1 PT = 1.0000e+33 aN
- 10 aN = 1.0000e-32 PT
- 100 aN = 1.0000e-31 PT
How to Convert Attonewton to Petanewton
1 aN = 1e-33 PT
Example: convert 15 aN to PT:
15 aN = 15 × 1e-33 PT = 1.5e-32 PT

Attonewton
An attonewton (aN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-18 newtons.
History/Origin
The attonewton is part of the SI prefixes system, introduced to measure extremely small forces, with its usage becoming more relevant in nanotechnology and precision measurements.
Current Use
Attonewtons are used in scientific research involving microscopic forces, such as in atomic and molecular physics, and in nanotechnology applications where very small forces are measured.
Petanewton
A petanewton (PT) is a unit of force equal to 10^15 newtons, used for measuring extremely large forces.
History/Origin
The petanewton was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to facilitate the expression of very large forces, although it is rarely used in practical applications due to the scale of forces involved.
Current Use
The petanewton is primarily used in scientific contexts involving large-scale forces, such as astrophysics and cosmology, but remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
