What is Centigram ?
A Centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-hundredth of a gram (0.01 grams). It is used primarily for measuring very small quantities of substances or objects.
To put it into perspective:
- 1 gram (g) = 100 centigrams (cg)
- 1 centigram (cg) = 0.01 grams (g)
In everyday terms, a centigram is a very small amount of mass. For example, a single grain of rice might weigh around 20 centigrams.
Centigrams are particularly useful in contexts where precision in measuring small quantities is crucial, such as in pharmaceuticals for measuring medication doses or in scientific research for weighing tiny samples. They provide a finer level of detail than larger units like grams or kilograms, allowing for more accurate measurements in the metric system.
