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 Solar Masses
A solar mass (M☉) is the mass of our Sun - approximately 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg - and is the standard unit for measuring stellar and galactic masses in astronomy. The Sun contains 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. Stellar evolution models describe stars of 0.08 M☉ (the minimum for hydrogen fusion) to over 200 M☉ (the most massive known stars). Supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies range from millions to billions of solar masses: the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way (Sagittarius A*) is approximately 4.3 million M☉.
