Units explained
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.
From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).
Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.
The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.
Gigagram
A gigagram (Gg) equals 10^6 kilograms, the same as 1,000 metric tons.
From the SI prefix 'giga-' (from Greek 'gigas', giant).
Bulk commodity, emissions, and freight accounting.
The giga- prefix entered the SI in 1960.
Teragram to Gigagram conversion formula
The relationship between teragrams and gigagrams:
To convert teragrams to gigagrams, multiply the value in teragrams by 1000. To reverse, multiply gigagrams by 0.001.

Step-by-step: convert teragrams to gigagrams
- Write down the value in teragrams (Tg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1000.
- The product is the equivalent value in gigagrams (Gg).
- To reverse, multiply the gigagram value by 0.001.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 Tg to Gg:
1 × 1000 = 1000 Gg
Example 2 — Convert 100 Tg to Gg:
100 × 1000 = 100000 Gg
