Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
Earth's Mass
Earth's mass (M_earth) is a unit of mass representing the mass of the Earth, approximately 5.972 × 10^24 kilograms.
History/Origin
The concept of Earth's mass as a unit originated from scientific measurements of Earth's size and gravitational influence, becoming a standard reference in geophysics and astronomy.
Current Use
M_earth is used in scientific contexts to express planetary and astronomical masses, and in some cases, to compare the mass of other celestial bodies relative to Earth.
