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.

Ton (Long) [ton (UK)]

The long ton, also known as the imperial ton or British ton, is a unit of mass traditionally used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries.

• 
  

  1 long ton = 2,240 pounds

  
  
• 
  

  1 long ton ≈ 1,016.0469 kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: often written as ton (UK) or long ton

  
  
• 
  

  Historically used in shipping, freight, and coal industries in the UK.

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  1 long ton = 2,240 lb

  
  
• 
  

  ≈ 1,016.05 kg

  
  
• 
  

  Heavier than the short ton (US, 2,000 lb)

  
  
• 
  

  Slightly heavier than the metric ton (1,000 kg)

  
  

Though largely replaced by the metric ton in most official UK uses, the long ton is still referenced in certain industries and historical contexts.
