A gram is a metric measurement of weight. One milligram is one thousandth of a gram and one thousand micrograms.

One gram is 1,000 times larger than a milligram, so you can move the decimal point in 3,085 three places to the left.

1 milligram (mg) = 1000 micrograms (mcg) or 0.001 grams (g) 1 g = 1000 mg 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 g 1 kg = 2.2 pound (lb) 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) To convert larger to smaller, multiply by 1000, or move the decimal point three places to the right.

A kilogram is times larger than one gram (so ). A centimeter is times smaller than one meter (so ). A dekaliter is times larger than one liter (so )….

Using this table as a reference, you can see the following: A kilogram is 1,000 times larger than one gram (so 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams).

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling down on an object. It depends on the object’s mass and the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. The formula for calculating weight is F = m × 9.8 m/s2, where F is the object’s weight in Newtons (N) and m is the object’s mass in kilograms.

zeptosecond

In astrophysics and quantum physics a jiffy is, as defined by Edward R. Harrison, the time it takes for light to travel one fermi, which is approximately the size of a nucleon. One fermi is 10−15 m, so a jiffy is about 3 × 10−24 seconds.

supereon

A day is approximately the period during which the Earth completes one rotation around its axis, which takes around 24 hours. The unit of measurement “day” (symbol d) is defined as 86,400 SI seconds. The second is designated the SI base unit of time.

second. The second, symbol s, is the SI unit of time. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the cesium frequency ΔνCs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the cesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s-1.

What you have come to understand as a “day” is classified by astronomers as a solar day. It’s the amount of time it takes for the sun to move through the sky and return to roughly the same spot. This is different from the amount of time it takes for the Earth to turn once on its axis – the 23 hours, 56 minutes.

A parsec is a unit of distance, not time, so why would Solo use it to explain how quickly his ship could travel?

A light-year is a measurement of distance and not time (as the name might suggest). A light-year is the distance a beam of light travels in a single Earth year, or 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers).

Parsec is obtained by the use of parallax and trigonometry, and is defined as the distance at which 1 au subtends an angle of one arcsecond (13600 of a degree). This corresponds to 648000π astronomical units, i.e. 1 pc = 1/tan(1″) au.

Specifically, a parsec is the distance to a star whose apparent position shifts by 1 arcsecond (1/3,600 of a degree) in the sky after Earth orbits halfway around the sun. A parsec amounts to about 3.26 light-years, or about 19.2 trillion miles (30.9 trillion kilometers).

Han Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon “made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs”. A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance.

Hyperdrive. The Millennium Falcon’s signature speed comes from its hyperdrive, a propulsion system that pushes the vessel to light speed — though Han Solo has famously boasted that the ship can travel even faster.

Known as the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, a bucket of bolts, and the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, the Millennium Falcon has a reputation. Han and Chewbacca have made many “special modifications” to the Corellian YT-1300 light freighter over the years to maximize its speed and agility.

Han gets his last name “Solo” from Drawd Munbrin.

Thought dead, Darth Maul survived his injuries by focusing on his hatred of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi who cut him in half. His shattered body was dumped amid the refuse of the junk planet Lotho Minor, where the once deadly warrior fell into madness, staying alive on a diet of vermin.

Chewbacca died in 25 ABY, the first year of the Yuuzhan Vong War, giving his life during the Destruction of Sernpidal to save Anakin Solo.

To work out the relative costs of 100g, you can divide the cost of 125g by 5 and take that off the price. If something else is given as price per kg, just divide by 10 to get the price for 100g.

Suppose the price of gold listed by the jeweller is Rs. 27,350 for 10 grams of 22KT gold. Now, if you wish to purchase a gold chain of 9.6 grams, then price will be calculated as: Price of 1 gram of gold = Rs 27,350 divided by 10 = Rs.

Here’s how to get a pretty accurate measurement without the use of a scale:

1. Use a spoon to fluff up the flour within the container.
2. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup.
3. Use a knife or other straight edged utensil to level the flour across the measuring cup.

Well, here are some ways to indicate if you’ve gained or lost weight without using the weighing scale.

1. Do your clothes fit well? The easiest way to tell if you’ve lost weight is by looking at how your clothes fit.
2. Snap a weekly selfie.
3. Measure your sleep.
4. Get a measuring tape.
5. Increased energy levels.
6. A sharper mind.

Water-displacement method Take a bigger liquid measuring cup and fill it with water equal to the amount of butter you need for the recipe. Add chunks of butter until the water doubles in volume. Be sure that the measuring cup is big enough to handle twice the volume that you wish to measure out.

One tablespoon also equals 15mL.

1. 14 grams = 1 tablespoon.
2. 21 grams = 1 1/2 tablespoons.
3. 28 grams = 2 tablespoons.
4. 35 grams = 2 1/2 tablespoons.
5. 42 grams = 3 tablespoons.
6. 50 grams = 3 1/2 tablespoons.
7. 56 grams = 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick)
