Teragram [Tg]

The teragram is a metric unit of mass used to measure very large quantities.

• 
  

  1 teragram = 10¹² grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 teragram = 1,000,000,000 kilograms (1 billion kilograms)

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: Tg

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used in fields like environmental science, geology, and meteorology

  
  
• 
  

  Useful for measuring large-scale masses such as forest biomass, pollutant emissions, or glacier mass

  
  
• 
  

  Part of the SI system, where "tera-" means $10^{12}$

  
  

The teragram helps scientists and researchers express large masses in a manageable unit.

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.
