Kiloton (Metric) [kt]

The kiloton (kt) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms (one million kilograms). It is commonly used to measure large quantities, such as the weight of ships, large cargo, or explosive energy equivalent in nuclear physics.

In the context of explosives, one kiloton often refers to the energy released by the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT, a standard measure in describing the yield of nuclear bombs.

The kiloton provides a convenient scale for expressing very large masses or energy amounts in scientific, industrial, and military fields.

Atomic Mass Unit [u]

The atomic mass unit (u), also known as the unified atomic mass unit or dalton (Da), is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights.

1 u = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
1 u ≈ 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms
Symbol: u or Da

Key Facts:

Used to measure the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles
1 hydrogen atom ≈ 1 u
Mass of a proton ≈ 1.007 u, neutron ≈ 1.008 u
Simplifies comparison of atomic-scale masses in chemistry and physics

The atomic mass unit provides a convenient and consistent way to express and compare very small masses at the atomic and molecular scale.
