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




Kilogram (kg)


The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, representing the amount of matter in an object.



  • It is symbolized as kg.



  • Since 2019, the kilogram is defined by fixing the value of the Planck constant to exactly 6.62607015×10−346.62607015 \times 10^{-34} joule seconds, linking mass to fundamental physical constants.



  • Before this, it was defined by a physical platinum-iridium prototype.



  • It is the only SI base unit still using the prefix "kilo" in its name.



Key points:



  • 1 kg is the base unit of mass in the metric system



  • Defined using the Planck constant for high precision



  • Widely used globally in science, industry, and everyday life



The kilogram ensures accurate and universal mass measurements across the world.
