Proton Mass (mₕ (p))
The proton mass, approximately 1.67262192369 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms, is central to chemistry, nuclear physics, and cosmology. Protons, along with neutrons, form the nuclei of atoms and therefore compose most of the mass of ordinary matter. The proton mass arises from the strong nuclear force and the dynamics of quarks and gluons within quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Interestingly, most of the proton's mass is not from its constituent quarks but from the energy stored in the strong force. Understanding the proton mass helps scientists explore nuclear stability, binding energies, and stellar nucleosynthesis—the processes that form elements inside stars.
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.
