Megagram
A megagram (Mg) is a unit of mass equal to one million grams or 1,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The megagram was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of mass, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts. It is also known as a metric ton in some regions, though this can vary by country.
Current Use
The megagram is used in scientific, industrial, and environmental fields to measure large quantities of mass, especially where the metric system is standard. It is commonly used in contexts such as agriculture, manufacturing, and environmental science.
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
