What are Pound and Teragram

A pound is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One pound (symbol: lb) is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. The pound is further divided into 16 ounces, a smaller unit of weight. Historically, the pound has roots in Roman and Anglo-Saxon units of measurement, and its usage has been standardized for trade and scientific applications.

A teragram is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000,000,000,000 grams or 1 million metric tons. The prefix 'tera' signifies a trillion, and it is a part of the International System of Units (SI). Teragrams are not commonly used for everyday measurements but are rather applied in scientific contexts, particularly when discussing large-scale carbon emissions, geological processes, or the mass of very large objects such as asteroids.
