Units explained
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.
From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).
Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.
The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.
Milligram
A milligram (mg) equals one-millionth of a kilogram, or 0.001 gram.
From the SI prefix 'milli-' (from Latin 'mille', thousand).
Standard for medicine dosing, nutrition labels, and fine jewelry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
