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.

Quintal (Metric) [cwt]

The metric quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms. It is widely used in agriculture and commerce for measuring bulk goods like grains, produce, and livestock feed.

Though called "quintal," it differs from other regional versions like the British hundredweight (cwt). In some countries, especially those using the metric system, the quintal serves as a convenient intermediate unit between kilograms and metric tons.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 metric quintal = 100 kg

  
  
• 
  

  Common in farming and trade for easy large-quantity measurements
