How to Convert Exagram to Short Ton (US)
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) = 1.102311e+12 Short Ton (US) (ton (US)).

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 Short Ton (US) (ton (US))
Definition
The short ton (US ton) is a unit of mass equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms.
Mathematical Relationship
1 short ton = 2,000 lb = 907.18474 kg = 0.90718 metric tonnes.
Conversion Formula
To convert short tons to kg: multiply by 907.185. To convert short tons to metric tonnes: multiply by 0.9072.
Practical Applications
Coal mining output, grain production, truck payload limits, and US shipping and freight.
Interesting Facts
The US short ton (2,000 lb) is about 10% lighter than a metric tonne (2,205 lb) and about 11% lighter than a UK long ton (2,240 lb).
Common Mistakes
Assuming 'ton' means the same thing everywhere. In the US it's 2,000 lb; in the UK it's 2,240 lb; in metric it's 2,205 lb.
Educational Tips
Remember: short ton = 2,000 lb, long ton = 2,240 lb, metric tonne = 2,205 lb. The metric tonne is between the other two.
