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.
Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the Planck constant h at 6.62607015E-34 J s.
From Greek 'khilioi' (thousand) plus 'gramma' (small weight).
The worldwide base unit of mass in science, commerce, and everyday life.
Adopted in 1795; redefined through the Planck constant on 20 May 2019.
Exagram to Kilogram conversion formula
The relationship between exagrams and kilograms:
To convert exagrams to kilograms, multiply the value in exagrams by 1e+15. To reverse, multiply kilograms by 1e-15.

Step-by-step: convert exagrams to kilograms
- Write down the value in exagrams (Eg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1e+15.
- The product is the equivalent value in kilograms (kg).
- 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
