Units explained
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.
From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).
Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.
The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.
Carbon-12 Atom Mass
The mass of a single carbon-12 atom is exactly 12 u by definition, about 1.9926E-26 kg.
The reference nuclide that defines the unified atomic mass scale.
The defining standard for the atomic mass unit.
Chosen as the mass standard by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.
Exagram to Carbon-12 Atom Mass conversion formula
