How to Convert Petapascals to Pascals

1 PPa = 1000000000000000 Pa

1 Pa = 1e-15 PPa

Example: convert 10 PPa to Pa: 10 PPa = 10 × 1000000000000000 PPa = 10000000000000000 PPa

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**.

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.
