What are Gigaton and Ton-hour

Definition of Gigaton

A Gigaton (GT) is a unit of mass often used to measure the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. It is equivalent to one billion metric tons or approximately 2.20462 trillion pounds. This substantial measure is commonly used in discussions about climate change and the Earth's atmospheric composition when dealing with vast quantities.

Definition of Ton-hour

A Ton-hour (ton·hr) is a unit of energy that represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice over a period of one hour. This equates to approximately 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. It is commonly used in the refrigeration industry to describe the cooling capacity or heat absorption over time.
