About Grams
The gram (g) is the basic metric unit of mass, equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It is universally used in cooking, nutrition, postal services, and scientific measurement. Almost all food packaging worldwide shows nutritional information per 100 g. A US nickel coin weighs exactly 5 g, a teaspoon of sugar about 4 g, and a standard paperclip approximately 1 g. In chemistry, the gram is central to molar mass: one mole of carbon-12 atoms weighs exactly 12 g. Postal rates are typically scaled per gram or per 100 g.
About Metric Tons
A metric ton (t), also called a tonne, equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard large mass unit in the international SI system, used worldwide for shipping, trade, agriculture, industry, and environmental monitoring. Global steel production, grain harvests, CO₂ emissions, shipping freight, and oil production are all reported in millions of metric tonnes. A standard TEU shipping container can carry up to approximately 28 metric tonnes of cargo. Carbon footprint calculators express emissions in CO₂ equivalent tonnes (tCO₂e).
