How to Convert Petagram to Deuteron Mass
1 Pg = 2.99080288717339e+38 m_d
Example: convert 15 Pg to m_d:
15 Pg = 15 × 2.99080288717339e+38 m_d = 4.48620433076008e+39 m_d

Petagram
A petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^15 grams or one quadrillion grams.
History/Origin
The petagram was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes to represent extremely large masses, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'peta-' which denotes 10^15.
Current Use
The petagram is primarily used in scientific contexts to quantify very large masses, such as in astronomy and geology, but is rarely used in everyday measurements.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
