About Nanocoulombs per cubic metre
The nanocoulomb per cubic metre (nC/m³) equals 10⁻⁹ C/m³, the scale for thundercloud volume charge and laboratory low-pressure plasmas. The main negative charge region of a mature thunderstorm has volume charge density of 1-5 nC/m³; glow discharge plasma at ~1 Pa has space charge density in the nC/m³ to µC/m³ range. 1 nC/m³ = 10⁻⁹ C/m³ = 10⁻³ µC/m³.
About Picocoulombs per cubic metre
The picocoulomb per cubic metre (pC/m³) equals 10⁻¹² C/m³, the scale for solar wind charge density and fair-weather atmospheric electricity. The solar wind near Earth has electron density ~5×10⁶ /m³, giving charge density ≈0.8 pC/m³; fair-weather atmospheric space charge near sea level is 1-10 pC/m³. 1 pC/m³ = 10⁻¹² C/m³ = 10⁻³ nC/m³.
