Exagram

What is a exagram?

An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.

Origin of the exagram

From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).

Where it is used

Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.

When and where it was developed

The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.

Metric / SI

Kilogram

What is a kilogram?

The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the Planck constant h at 6.62607015E-34 J s.

Origin of the kilogram

From Greek 'khilioi' (thousand) plus 'gramma' (small weight).

Where it is used

The worldwide base unit of mass in science, commerce, and everyday life.

When and where it was developed

Adopted in 1795; redefined through the Planck constant on 20 May 2019.

Exagram to Kilogram conversion formula

The relationship between exagrams and kilograms:

1 Eg = 1e+15 kg
1 kg = 1e-15 Eg

To convert exagrams to kilograms, multiply the value in exagrams by 1e+15. To reverse, multiply kilograms by 1e-15.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in kilograms updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Kilogram to Exagram converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert exagrams to kilograms

  1. Write down the value in exagrams (Eg).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1e+15.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in kilograms (kg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the kilogram value by 1e-15.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 Eg to kg:
1 × 1e+15 = 1e+15 kg

Example 2 — Convert 100 Eg to kg:
100 × 1e+15 = 1e+17 kg
