Microgram [µg]

The microgram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-millionth of a gram.

• 
  

  1 microgram = 0.000001 grams = 10⁻⁶ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 microgram = 10⁻⁹ kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: µg (the Greek letter "mu" represents “micro-”)

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Commonly used in medicine, pharmacology, and chemistry for very small masses (e.g., drug dosages, contaminants)

  
  
• 
  

  The prefix "micro-" means $10^{-6}$ (one millionth)

  
  
• 
  

  Smaller than milligrams, centigrams, and decigrams

  
  

The microgram is essential for accurately measuring tiny amounts in scientific and healthcare applications.

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
