About these units
Exagram (Eg)
An exagram, equal to 10¹⁵ kilograms, is used to describe masses of planets, moons, and extremely large terrestrial reservoirs (e.g., total mass of Earth's atmosphere ≈ 5 Eg). Because of its enormous scale, the exagram rarely appears outside astrophysics or large-scale geophysics. When used, however, it provides a powerful sense of magnitude—allowing scientists to describe Earth systems at the grandest scales with simple, comprehensible numbers.
Kiloton (Metric) (kt)
A kiloton, equal to 1,000 metric tons, is used in large-scale industrial, geological, and agricultural contexts. However, the term is better known for expressing explosive yields, particularly of nuclear weapons. Scientists estimate the energy release of explosions by comparing them to the detonation of 1,000 tons of TNT. For example, the Hiroshima bomb had a yield of about 15 kilotons. Outside military contexts, kilotons appear in discussions of carbon emissions, waste production, and global resource extraction. They provide a manageable scale for describing quantities too large for tons but not yet at the megaton level.
