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 Tolas
A tola is a traditional South Asian unit of mass equal to the weight of a silver rupee coin - approximately 11.664 grams. It was the standard unit for weighing gold and silver across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh for centuries, and remains actively used in gold jewellery markets throughout the subcontinent. Gold is routinely priced and bought in tolas at jewellers' shops (sarrafas) in India and Pakistan. A 10-tola gold bar (116.64 g) is the most popular retail gold bar size in South Asia and the Middle East.
