How to Convert Megagram to Exagram
To convert Mg to kg: multiply by 1,000. To convert Mg to short tons: multiply by 1.10231.
1 Mg = 1,000 kg = 10⁶ g = 1 tonne = 2,204.62 lb.
For example, 1 Megagram (Mg) = 1.000000e-12 Exagram (Eg).

About Megagram (Mg)
Definition
The megagram is equal to 1,000 kilograms or one million grams — equivalent to one metric ton (tonne).
Mathematical Relationship
1 Mg = 1,000 kg = 10⁶ g = 1 tonne = 2,204.62 lb.
Conversion Formula
To convert Mg to kg: multiply by 1,000. To convert Mg to short tons: multiply by 1.10231.
Practical Applications
Vehicle weights, cargo shipping, bulk commodities, and industrial material quantities.
Interesting Facts
A small car weighs about 1–1.5 Mg. An adult elephant weighs about 5–6 Mg.
Common Mistakes
Case sensitivity: Mg (megagram) vs. mg (milligram) differ by 10⁹! Always check capitalization.
Educational Tips
1 Mg = 1 tonne = 1,000 kg. Think of a small car's weight as an anchor for this unit.
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.
