Attogram [ag]

The attogram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-quintillionth of a gram.

• 
  

  1 attogram = 0.000000000000000001 grams = 10⁻¹⁸ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 attogram = 10⁻²¹ kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: ag

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used in cutting-edge scientific fields like nanotechnology, physics, and molecular science

  
  
• 
  

  The prefix "atto-" means $10^{-18}$ (one quintillionth)

  
  
• 
  

  Enables measurement of extraordinarily tiny masses, such as single molecules or atoms

  
  

The attogram is vital for quantifying masses at the smallest scales currently measurable in science.

Ton (Long) [ton (UK)]

The long ton, also known as the imperial ton or British ton, is a unit of mass traditionally used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries.

• 
  

  1 long ton = 2,240 pounds

  
  
• 
  

  1 long ton ≈ 1,016.0469 kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: often written as ton (UK) or long ton

  1 long ton = 2,240 lb

  
  
• 
  

  ≈ 1,016.05 kg

  
  
• 
  

  Heavier than the short ton (US, 2,000 lb)

  
  
• 
  

  Slightly heavier than the metric ton (1,000 kg)

  
  

Though largely replaced by the metric ton in most official UK uses, the long ton is still referenced in certain industries and historical contexts.
