Nanogram [ng]

The nanogram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-billionth of a gram.

• 
  

  1 nanogram = 0.000000001 grams = 10⁻⁹ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 nanogram = 10⁻¹² kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: ng

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used in fields like biochemistry, pharmacology, and environmental science to measure extremely small masses (e.g., toxins, DNA quantities)

  
  
• 
  

  The prefix "nano-" means $10^{-9}$ (one billionth)

  
  
• 
  

  Smaller than micrograms and widely used for precision measurements at molecular scales

  
  

The nanogram allows scientists to quantify minute amounts of substances with great accuracy.

Mina (Biblical Hebrew)

The mina was an ancient Hebrew unit of weight used during Biblical times, primarily for precious metals like silver and gold. It was smaller than the talent and often used as a subunit.

A mina is generally estimated to weigh about 1/60 of a talent, roughly 1 pound (about 0.5 kilograms), though exact values varied by region and era.

The mina was commonly used for trade, taxation, and wealth measurement in ancient Near Eastern economies.

Summary:

• 
  

  Approximately 1/60 of a talent (~1 pound or 0.5 kg)

  
  
• 
  

  Used in ancient Hebrew and Near Eastern contexts

  
  
• 
  

  Important for measuring precious metals and commerce
