About these units
Muon Mass (mᵤ)
The muon is a heavier cousin of the electron, with a mass of about 1.8835316 × 10⁻²⁸ kilograms, roughly 207 times more massive than the electron. Because the muon behaves like an electron but with much greater mass, it offers unique opportunities for probing fundamental physics. Muonic atoms—where a muon replaces an electron—allow extremely precise measurements of nuclear size due to the muon's tighter orbit. Muons are also produced naturally in Earth's atmosphere from cosmic rays and are widely studied in particle accelerators. Research into muon behavior has led to major discoveries, and the muon mass continues to attract interest in tests of physics beyond the Standard Model.
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.
