[Planck mass is a] natural unit of mass that can be obtained by combining the fundamental natural constants that govern spacetime, the strength of gravity and the quantum world: the gravitational constant, Planck's constant and the speed of light. Compared with the masses we're used to in everyday life, the Planck mass is rather small, a mere 2 hundredths of a thousandth of a gram.
