About Gigatons
A gigaton (Gt) equals one billion metric tonnes (10¹² kg). It is the standard unit for planetary-scale mass measurements and global environmental budgets. Annual human CO₂ emissions are approximately 37 Gt CO₂; Earth's atmosphere contains roughly 5,480 Gt of air; Antarctic ice sheet mass is around 26,500,000 Gt of ice. Climate scientists report ice sheet mass balance changes in gigatons per year - the Greenland ice sheet loses approximately 280 Gt of ice annually due to climate change.
About Ounces
The avoirdupois ounce (oz) is 1/16 of a pound, equal to approximately 28.35 grams. It is the everyday ounce used in the United States and United Kingdom for food portions, household quantities, and general trade. US food packages, recipe measurements, and nutrition labels reference ounces; a standard stick of butter is 4 oz, a can of soup typically 10.75 oz, and a baseball weighs 5-5.25 oz. Unlike the troy ounce (31.10 g) used for precious metals, the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) is lighter.
