Convert centigram to petagram
Please provide values below to convert centigram [cg] to petagram [Pg], or Convert petagram to centigram.
1 cg = 1.0000e-17 Pg. To convert centigram to petagram, multiply the value by 1.0000e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pg = 1.0000e+17 cg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cg = 1.0000e-17 Pg
- 1 Pg = 1.0000e+17 cg
- 10 cg = 1.0000e-16 Pg
- 100 cg = 1.0000e-15 Pg
How to Convert Centigram to Petagram
1 cg = 1e-17 Pg
Example: convert 15 cg to Pg:
15 cg = 15 × 1e-17 Pg = 1.5e-16 Pg

Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Petagram
A petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^15 grams or one quadrillion grams.
History/Origin
The petagram was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes to represent extremely large masses, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'peta-' which denotes 10^15.
Current Use
The petagram is primarily used in scientific contexts to quantify very large masses, such as in astronomy and geology, but is rarely used in everyday measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centigram in petagram?
1 centigram (cg) = 1.0000e-17 petagram (Pg).
How do you convert centigram to petagram?
Multiply the centigram value by 1.0000e-17. For example, 25 cg × 1.0000e-17 = 2.5000e-16 Pg.
What is 10 centigram in petagram?
10 cg = 1.0000e-16 Pg.
Which unit is larger, the centigram or the petagram?
The petagram is the larger unit: 1 cg equals only 1.0000e-17 Pg.
