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 Short Tons

US electricity, energy, and mining production statistics are reported in short tons or millions of short tons (MMst).
