hectopascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert hectopascal [hPa] to pascal [Pa], or change ↔.
hectopascal [hPa]
Definition: The hectopascal (hPa) is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Historically, hectopascals were used in meteorology for easier handling of pressure values, as the pascal is quite small.
CurrentUse: It is still commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, particularly in weather reports.
funfact: Hectopascals are equivalent to millibars (mb), which is another unit commonly used in weather forecasting.
pascal [Pa]
Definition: The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
Historyandorigin: Named after Blaise Pascal, it was introduced in the 19th century as part of the metric system.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in scientific, engineering, and meteorological contexts to measure pressure.
funfact: The pascal is quite small, so it's often used in larger units like kilopascals (kPa) for more practical applications.

How to Convert hectopascal to pascal
1 hectopascal [hPa] = 100 pascal [Pa]
1 pascal [Pa] = 0.01 hectopascal [hPa]
we use cross multiplication method
hectopascal [hPa] → pascal [Pa]
1 → 100
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*100=1*x
by simplifying
x=150
