How to Convert Decigram to Exagram
To convert dg to grams: divide by 10. To convert dg to mg: multiply by 100.
1 dg = 0.1 g = 100 mg = 10 cg.
For example, 1 Decigram (dg) = 1.000000e-19 Exagram (Eg).

| 1000 | 1.000000e-16 |
About Decigram (dg)
Definition
The decigram is a unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram (10⁻¹ g) or 100 milligrams.
Mathematical Relationship
1 dg = 0.1 g = 100 mg = 10 cg.
Conversion Formula
To convert dg to grams: divide by 10. To convert dg to mg: multiply by 100.
Practical Applications
Limited modern use. May appear in some European cooking recipes or educational worksheets.
Interesting Facts
The decigram was in wider use in the 19th century when the metric system was still establishing conventions.
Common Mistakes
Confusing dg (decigram) with dag (dekagram) — they differ by a factor of 100.
Educational Tips
Deci = one-tenth, deka = ten. They are opposite: dg = 0.1 g, dag = 10 g.
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.
