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.

Kilogram (kg)

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, representing the amount of matter in an object.

• 
  

  It is symbolized as kg.

  
  
• 
  

  Since 2019, the kilogram is defined by fixing the value of the Planck constant to exactly $6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}$ joule seconds, linking mass to fundamental physical constants.

  
  
• 
  

  Before this, it was defined by a physical platinum-iridium prototype.

  
  
• 
  

  It is the only SI base unit still using the prefix "kilo" in its name.

  
  

Key points:

• 
  

  1 kg is the base unit of mass in the metric system

  
  
• 
  

  Defined using the Planck constant for high precision

  
  
• 
  

  Widely used globally in science, industry, and everyday life

  
  

The kilogram ensures accurate and universal mass measurements across the world.
