Exagram
An exagram (Eg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^18 grams, used to measure extremely large quantities of mass.
History/Origin
The exagram is a relatively recent addition to the metric system, introduced to facilitate the measurement of very large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, aligning with the SI prefixes for large units.
Current Use
Exagrams are primarily used in scientific research, astronomy, and large-scale industrial applications to quantify massive amounts of material or celestial bodies.
Megagram
A megagram (Mg) is a unit of mass equal to one million grams or 1,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The megagram was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of mass, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts. It is also known as a metric ton in some regions, though this can vary by country.
Current Use
The megagram is used in scientific, industrial, and environmental fields to measure large quantities of mass, especially where the metric system is standard. It is commonly used in contexts such as agriculture, manufacturing, and environmental science.
