How to Convert Exagram to Metric Ton
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
For example, 1 Exagram (Eg) = 1.000000e+12 Metric Ton (t).

About Exagram (Eg)
Definition
The exagram equals 10¹⁸ grams or 10¹⁵ kilograms — one trillion tonnes.
Mathematical Relationship
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
Conversion Formula
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No everyday applications. Describes masses of small moons or large asteroids.
Interesting Facts
Earth's total mass is about 5.97 × 10⁶ Eg. The entire atmosphere weighs 'only' about 5 Eg.
Common Mistakes
Hardly ever encountered — most contexts use 'times 10^x kg' notation instead of exagrams.
Educational Tips
If you need to express masses between Pg and Earth-masses, the exagram fills that gap: 1 Eg = 10¹⁵ kg.
About Metric Ton (t)
Definition
The metric ton (tonne) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or one megagram.
Mathematical Relationship
1 t = 1,000 kg = 10⁶ g = 2,204.62 lb = 1.10231 short tons = 0.98421 long tons.
Conversion Formula
To convert tonnes to kg: multiply by 1,000. To convert tonnes to short tons: multiply by 1.10231.
Practical Applications
Cargo shipping, vehicle weight ratings, construction material ordering, and agricultural harvests.
Interesting Facts
The three 'tons' often cause confusion: metric tonne (1,000 kg), short ton (907 kg, US), and long ton (1,016 kg, UK).
Common Mistakes
Confusing metric tonnes with short tons (US) or long tons (UK). A metric tonne is 10% heavier than a US short ton.
Educational Tips
1 tonne = ~2,200 lb. Quick check: multiply tonnes by 2.2 to get approximate thousands of pounds.
