What are Petagram and Ton-metric

Definition of Petagram

A Petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass in the metric system, equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) grams. It is commonly used in scientific contexts to measure large quantities of mass, such as in geophysics or astrophysics. The vastness of this unit makes it suitable for expressing the mass of the Earth's atmosphere, large meteorites, or even entire ecosystems.

Definition of Ton-metric

A Metric Ton, or tonne, is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms (kg). It is widely used around the world for measuring the weight of heavy objects, such as vehicles, cargo, and industrial equipment. In some contexts, it is also used to denote the energy content of fuels or the carbon dioxide emissions of an activity, measured in metric ton equivalents.

Conversion of Petagram to Ton-metric

1 Pg = 1,000,000,000 t
1 t = 0.000000001 Pg

Example 1:
Convert 0.02 Pg to t:
0.02 Pg = 0.02 × 1,000,000,000 t = 20,000,000 t

Example 2:
Convert 0.05 Pg to t:
0.05 Pg = 0.05 × 1,000,000,000 t = 50,000,000 t
