Gigagram [Gg]

The gigagram is a metric unit of mass representing large quantities.

• 
  

  1 gigagram = 10⁹ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 gigagram = 1,000,000 kilograms (1 million kilograms)

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: Gg

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used to measure large masses in environmental studies, agriculture, and industry

  
  
• 
  

  Part of the SI system, where the prefix "giga-" means $10^{9}$

  
  
• 
  

  Convenient for expressing quantities larger than tonnes but smaller than teragrams

  
  

The gigagram is useful for quantifying sizable amounts of material in scientific and commercial contexts.

Gamma

The gamma (γ) is a very small unit of mass used mainly in geophysics, soil science, and radiology. It is equivalent to one microgram (1 µg) or 10⁻⁶ grams.

The term "gamma" is often used to express trace amounts of substances or contaminants in samples, helping scientists measure extremely small quantities with precision.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 gamma = 1 microgram = 10⁻⁶ grams

  
  
• 
  

  Used in soil science, geophysics, and radiological measurements

  
  
• 
  

  Ideal for quantifying very tiny masses
