How to convert pascals to hectopascals

1 pascals (Pa) is equal to 0.01 hectopascals (hPa).

1 Pa = 0.01 hPa
or
1 hPa = 100 Pa

What is a Pascal?

The pascal is a SI unit that measures pressure. Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal and it replaced the previously used units for pressure $N/m^2$ in SI unit system. Following are equal representation of 1 Pascal in other units.

1\ Pa = 1\ \frac{N}{m^2} = 1\ \frac{kg}{m*s^2} = 1\ \frac{J}{m^3}

Where
$N - Newtons$
$kg - Kilograms$
$m - Meters$
$s - Seconds$
$J - Jules$

What is a Hectopascal?

The hectopascal (hPa) is a 100 pascals (Pa). This is also known as millibar. The pascal is a SI unit that measures pressure. Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal and it replaced the previously used units for pressure $N/m^2$ in SI unit system. Following are equal representation of 1 Hectopascal in other units.

1\ hPa = 1\ millibar = \frac{100 *N}{m^2} = \frac{100 *kg}{m*s^2} = \frac{100 *J}{m^3}
