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.
Decigram
A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram, or 0.1 grams.
History/Origin
The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.
Current Use
Decigrams are used in scientific, laboratory, and nutritional contexts where small mass measurements are required, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
