Petagram [Pg]


The petagram is a unit of mass in the metric system, used to measure very large quantities.



  • 1 petagram = 10¹⁵ grams



  • 1 petagram = 1,000,000,000,000 kilograms (1 trillion kilograms)



  • Symbol: Pg



Key Facts:



  • Commonly used in environmental science, such as measuring global carbon emissions or biomass



  • Much larger than everyday units like kilograms or metric tons



  • Part of the SI system using the prefix "peta-" meaning 101510^{15}



The petagram is useful for quantifying massive amounts of material, especially in global-scale scientific studies.



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.
