Planck Mass

What is a planck mass?

The Planck mass equals about 2.18E-8 kg, formed from the constants h-bar, c, and G.

Origin of the planck mass

Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of a system of natural units.

Where it is used

Theoretical physics and quantum-gravity research.

When and where it was developed

Defined by Planck in 1899 from fundamental constants.

Carat (metric)

What is a carat (metric)?

The metric carat (ct) equals exactly 200 milligrams (0.0002 kg).

Origin of the carat (metric)

From Arabic 'qirat' and Greek 'keration', the carob seed once used as a counterweight.

Where it is used

The worldwide standard for gemstone and diamond mass.

When and where it was developed

The metric carat was fixed at 200 mg internationally in 1907.

Planck Mass to Carat (metric) conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between planck mass and carats (metric):

1 mP = 0.0001088355 ct
1 ct = 9188.1784895553 mP

To convert planck mass to carats (metric), multiply the value in planck mass by 0.0001088355. To reverse, multiply carats (metric) by 9188.1784895553.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in carats (metric) updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Carat (metric) to Planck Mass converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert planck mass to carats (metric)

  1. Write down the value in planck mass (mP).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 0.0001088355.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in carats (metric) (ct).
  4. To reverse, multiply the carat (metric) value by 9188.1784895553.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 mP to ct:
1 × 0.0001088355 = 0.0001088355 ct

Example 2 — Convert 100 mP to ct:
100 × 0.0001088355 = 0.01088355 ct

Real-world example — Sub-visible-light wavelength

500 planck mass (the green-yellow visible band) equals 0.5 carats (metric) — the canonical conversion in optics between wavelength specifications and micron-scale lens-coating thicknesses.

500 mP × 0.0001088355 = 0.05441775 ct

Real-world example — Spanning sub-micron to micron scale

Crossing from planck mass to carats (metric) is the everyday workflow of microscopy and semiconductor engineering — a measurement of 1000 planck mass translates to a much more compact value in carats (metric) that fits the scale of biological cells and process nodes.

1000 mP × 0.0001088355 = 0.1088355 ct
