Units explained

Metric / SI

Exagram

What is a exagram?

An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.

Origin of the exagram

From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).

Where it is used

Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.

When and where it was developed

The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.

Metric / SI

Teragram

What is a teragram?

A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.

Origin of the teragram

From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).

Where it is used

Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.

When and where it was developed

The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

Exagram to Teragram conversion formula

The relationship between exagrams and teragrams:

1 Eg = 1000000 Tg
1 Tg = 1e-6 Eg

To convert exagrams to teragrams, multiply the value in exagrams by 1000000. To reverse, multiply teragrams by 1e-6.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in teragrams updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Teragram to Exagram converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert exagrams to teragrams

  1. Write down the value in exagrams (Eg).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1000000.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in teragrams (Tg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the teragram value by 1e-6.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 Eg to Tg:
1 × 1000000 = 1000000 Tg

Example 2 — Convert 100 Eg to Tg:
100 × 1000000 = 1e+8 Tg

Frequently asked questions

How many teragrams is 1 exagram?
1 exagram equals 1000000 teragram.
How do I convert exagrams to teragrams?
Multiply the value in exagrams by 1000000 to get teragrams.
How do I convert teragrams back to exagrams?
Multiply the value in teragrams by 1e-6, or use the Teragram to Exagram converter.
How many teragrams is 100 exagrams?
100 exagrams equals 1e+8 teragrams, because 100 × 1000000 = 1e+8.
