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 $10^{15}$

  
  

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

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

  
  
• 
  

  Used in science, industry, and commerce
