What is a Ounce and a Pras (India)?

The ounce (oz) is a unit of mass used in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The most common type today is the international avoirdupois ounce, defined as exactly 1/16 of an avoirdupois pound, or approximately 28.35 grams.

The Pras is an extremely small traditional Indian unit of mass, representing a minute fraction sometimes referenced historically. One Pras is approximately equal to 0.0000027902 grams.

Note: The Ounce is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Pras (India) belongs to the imperial/US customary system.

Pras belongs to the lower end of the traditional Indian weight system, likely used for theoretical calculations or measuring extremely fine powders or precious substances where incredible precision was notionally required.
