How to Convert Carat to Neutron Mass
1 car, ct = 1.19408153626972e+23 m_n
Example: convert 15 car, ct to m_n:
15 car, ct = 15 × 1.19408153626972e+23 m_n = 1.79112230440458e+24 m_n
Carat to Neutron Mass Conversion Table
| carat | Neutron mass |

Carat
A carat is a unit of mass used to measure gemstones and pearls, equal to 200 milligrams.
History/Origin
The carat originated from the carob seed, which was historically used as a counterweight in balance scales due to its uniform weight. The term has been used since the 16th century to measure precious stones.
Current Use
Today, the carat is primarily used in the jewelry industry to specify the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, with 1 carat equaling 0.2 grams.
Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
