This is a number with 27 zeros. The researchers revealed this after the introduction of new prefixes.
The International System of Units (SI) has new metric prefixes for known units of measurement. Thus found out the weight of the Earth, writes Science Alert.
Scientists and representatives of governments from different countries, who gathered at the 27th General Conference on Weights and Measures, held at the Palace of Versailles, near Paris, calculated that our planet weighs of six ronnagrams.
However, it is noted that this is a digit with 27 zeros after it. At the same time, Jupiter is heavier. Its weight is according to two kettagrams, that is, a deuce with 30 zeros
The researchers revealed this after the introduction of new prefixes. They were introduced due to the fact that some companies, such as Google, were already using unauthorized value prefixes to refer to large amounts of data. These are brontobytes and gellabytes.
“The new prefixes will help meet the growing demand for larger amounts for the next 25 or so years,” the researchers said.
It will be remembered that earlier the spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lucy took new pictures of our planet and the moon.
