About these units
Exagram (Eg)
An exagram, equal to 10¹⁵ kilograms, is used to describe masses of planets, moons, and extremely large terrestrial reservoirs (e.g., total mass of Earth's atmosphere ≈ 5 Eg). Because of its enormous scale, the exagram rarely appears outside astrophysics or large-scale geophysics. When used, however, it provides a powerful sense of magnitude—allowing scientists to describe Earth systems at the grandest scales with simple, comprehensible numbers.
Stone (st)
The stone equals 14 pounds, or approximately 6.35029 kilograms, and is commonly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for expressing human body weight. It has deep traditional roots, originating from stones used as counterweights in early commerce. Although largely replaced by metric units in most applications, the stone remains emotionally and culturally significant for personal weight expression in the UK. Many people find it more intuitive and relatable than kilograms due to long-standing social habits. The stone's endurance highlights how measurement systems reflect cultural identity as much as mathematical convenience. It is one of the few units still commonly used in conversation but not in scientific or industrial contexts.
