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.
Metric Ton
The metric ton (t) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms; it is also called the tonne.
From 'tun', a large medieval cask; 'metric' distinguishes it from imperial tons.
The global standard for trade, freight, and heavy industry.
Recognized internationally with the spread of the metric system in the late 19th century.
Teragram to Metric Ton conversion formula
The relationship between teragrams and metric tons:
To convert teragrams to metric tons, multiply the value in teragrams by 1000000. To reverse, multiply metric tons by 1e-6.

Step-by-step: convert teragrams to metric tons
- Write down the value in teragrams (Tg).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1000000.
- The product is the equivalent value in metric tons (t).
- To reverse, multiply the metric ton value by 1e-6.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 Tg to t:
1 × 1000000 = 1000000 t
Example 2 — Convert 100 Tg to t:
100 × 1000000 = 1e+8 t
