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.

Lepton (Biblical Roman)

The lepton was the smallest and least valuable coin in the Roman and Jewish monetary systems during Biblical times. Made of bronze, it was used for very small transactions.

In the New Testament, the lepton is famously mentioned in the story of the widow’s mite, where a poor widow donates two lepta, showing her humble but sincere offering.

The lepton was essential for daily life among common people, representing the tiniest fraction of currency.
