Tonne [t]

The tonne, also known as the metric ton, is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to 1,000 kilograms or 1 megagram. It is widely used around the world for measuring large quantities of mass, such as in shipping, industry, and science.

The tonne is slightly larger than the US short ton (2,000 pounds) and the UK long ton (2,240 pounds).

Summary:

• 
  

  1 tonne = 1,000 kilograms (about 2,204.62 pounds)

  
  
• 
  

  Standard unit for large-scale mass measurements globally
