Kiloton (Metric)

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.

History/Origin

The term 'kiloton' originated in the 20th century, primarily used in military and scientific contexts to measure large quantities of explosive energy or mass, especially in nuclear weapon yields and large-scale industrial measurements.

Current Use

Today, kilotons are commonly used to express the explosive yield of nuclear weapons, the mass of large objects, and in scientific research related to energy and mass measurements.

Petagram

A petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^15 grams or one quadrillion grams.

History/Origin

The petagram was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes to represent extremely large masses, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'peta-' which denotes 10^15.

Current Use

The petagram is primarily used in scientific contexts to quantify very large masses, such as in astronomy and geology, but is rarely used in everyday measurements.
