Units explained
Quintal (metric)
The metric quintal (q) equals 100 kilograms.
From Latin 'centenarius' (hundredweight) via Arabic 'qintar'.
Agriculture across India, Europe, and Latin America for grain and produce.
Fixed at 100 kg with the spread of the metric system in the 19th century.
Earth's Mass
The Earth mass (M(E)) is about 5.976E24 kg.
Adopted as a convenient unit for the masses of terrestrial planets.
Astronomy and planetary science.
Refined over centuries since Cavendish first 'weighed the Earth' in 1798.

Step-by-step: convert quintals (metric) to earth's mass
- Write down the value in quintals (metric) (q).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1.67336e-23.
- The product is the equivalent value in earth's mass (M⊕).
- To reverse, multiply the earth's mass value by 5.976e+22.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 q to M⊕:
1 × 1.67336e-23 = 1.67336e-23 M⊕
Example 2 — Convert 100 q to M⊕:
100 × 1.67336e-23 = 1.67336e-21 M⊕
