Convert Pascals to Petapascals
Please provide values below to convert Pascals [Pa] to Petapascals [PPa].
How to Convert Pascals to Petapascals
1 Pa = 1e-15 PPa
1 PPa = 1000000000000000 Pa
Example: convert 10 Pa to PPa: 10 Pa = 10 × 1e-15 Pa = 1e-14 Pa
Pascals
Definition: A pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²).
History: Named after **Blaise Pascal**, a French mathematician and physicist known for his work on fluid mechanics and pressure, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in **1971**. It is widely used in physics, meteorology, and engineering for measuring atmospheric pressure, material stress, and fluid dynamics.
Petapascals
Definition: A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10¹⁵ pascals, often used in extreme physics applications such as geophysics and high-pressure material science.
History: Petapascals are used in **planetary science and high-energy physics**, where pressures within stars, planetary cores, or under extreme compression experiments reach this scale. It is not commonly used in everyday measurements but is crucial for understanding **the extreme states of matter**.
