Astronomy Mass Converters

Convert astronomical mass scales from kilograms to planet or star reference masses using fixed constants.

Explanation

This hub covers mass conversions used in astronomy and planetary science by normalizing all values through kilograms. Planet and star reference masses are treated as fixed constants for reproducible comparisons across leaf pages.

How to use this hub

  1. Choose a converter family.
  2. If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
  3. For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.

If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this astronomy mass hub?

It includes kilograms, metric tons, Earth, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Solar reference masses.

Are these factors fixed?

Yes. Every conversion factor is normalized through kilograms using fixed constants for consistency.

Can I use decimal values?

Yes. Decimal values are supported and useful for fractional planetary or stellar mass comparisons.
