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.
About Megatons
A megaton (Mt) equals one million metric tonnes (10⁹ kg). Nuclear weapon yields are measured in megatons of TNT equivalent: the largest weapon ever detonated, the Soviet Tsar Bomba tested in 1961, had a yield of approximately 50 Mt TNT and produced a fireball 8 km in diameter. Annual global CO₂ emissions are reported in gigatons (Gt), but regional emissions data and specific industrial sectors are quoted in megatons. The Chicxulub asteroid impact that caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction released energy equivalent to roughly 100 million Mt of TNT.
