Convert petagram to exagram
Please provide values below to convert petagram [Pg] to exagram [Eg], or Convert exagram to petagram.
1 Pg = 0.001 Eg. To convert petagram to exagram, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Eg = 1000 Pg). 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 Pg = 0.001 Eg
- 1 Eg = 1000 Pg
- 10 Pg = 0.01 Eg
- 100 Pg = 0.1 Eg
How to Convert Petagram to Exagram
1 Pg = 0.001 Eg
Example: convert 15 Pg to Eg:
15 Pg = 15 × 0.001 Eg = 0.015 Eg

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.
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^18 grams, used to measure extremely large quantities of mass.
History/Origin
The exagram is a relatively recent addition to the metric system, introduced to facilitate the measurement of very large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, aligning with the SI prefixes for large units.
Current Use
Exagrams are primarily used in scientific research, astronomy, and large-scale industrial applications to quantify massive amounts of material or celestial bodies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 petagram in exagram?
1 petagram (Pg) = 0.001 exagram (Eg).
How do you convert petagram to exagram?
Multiply the petagram value by 0.001. For example, 25 Pg × 0.001 = 0.025 Eg.
What is 10 petagram in exagram?
10 Pg = 0.01 Eg.
Which unit is larger, the petagram or the exagram?
The exagram is the larger unit: 1 Pg equals only 0.001 Eg.
