How to Convert Exagram to Hectogram
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
For example, 1 Exagram (Eg) = 1.000000e+16 Hectogram (hg).

About Exagram (Eg)
Definition
The exagram equals 10¹⁸ grams or 10¹⁵ kilograms — one trillion tonnes.
Mathematical Relationship
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
Conversion Formula
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No everyday applications. Describes masses of small moons or large asteroids.
Interesting Facts
Earth's total mass is about 5.97 × 10⁶ Eg. The entire atmosphere weighs 'only' about 5 Eg.
Common Mistakes
Hardly ever encountered — most contexts use 'times 10^x kg' notation instead of exagrams.
Educational Tips
If you need to express masses between Pg and Earth-masses, the exagram fills that gap: 1 Eg = 10¹⁵ kg.
About Hectogram (hg)
Definition
The hectogram is a unit of mass equal to 100 grams or one tenth of a kilogram.
Mathematical Relationship
1 hg = 100 g = 0.1 kg = 10 dag = 3.527 oz.
Conversion Formula
To convert hg to grams: multiply by 100. To convert hg to kg: divide by 10.
Practical Applications
Italian food shopping (un etto di prosciutto = 100 g of ham). Occasionally in European nutrition contexts.
Interesting Facts
In Italy, 'un etto' (one hectogram = 100 g) is the standard portion unit at deli counters.
Common Mistakes
Rarely encountered outside Italy, so people may not recognize it. 1 hg = 100 g = 0.1 kg.
Educational Tips
In Italy, 'un etto' = 100 g. The 'per 100 g' column on nutrition labels is essentially 'per hectogram'.
