About these units
Earth's Mass (M⊕)
Earth's mass is approximately 5.972 × 10²⁴ kilograms, a fundamental parameter in planetary science and orbital mechanics. It governs Earth's gravitational interaction with the Moon, Sun, and artificial satellites and shapes geological processes such as plate tectonics and atmospheric retention. Planetary scientists use Earth masses to compare exoplanets, enabling quick insights into habitability, composition, and gravitational characteristics.
Drachma (Biblical Greek) (drachma)
The drachma, roughly 4.3 grams, served as the principal Greek silver unit for centuries. Both a mass and a monetary unit, the drachma appears extensively in ancient writings, from philosophy to commerce to biblical passages. The term originates from "a handful," linking the weight to early barter practices. Over time, it became a symbol of civic identity—different city-states minted distinct drachmas with unique iconography. Its influence survives in the name of Greece's former national currency, the drachma, reinforcing its cultural legacy.
