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.
Gram
The gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.
History/Origin
The gram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density. It became part of the metric system established in France and was later standardized as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960.
Current Use
The gram is widely used worldwide for measuring small masses in everyday life, science, and industry, especially in contexts like food labeling, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory measurements.
