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.
Ton (Assay) (US) (AT (US))
The US assay ton is a specialized unit used in mining and metallurgy for evaluating ore grades. It is defined as 29.166⅔ grams, a very small mass chosen to simplify calculations relating assay results to tons of ore. The idea is that if an assay ton of sample yields 1 milligram of precious metal, then one actual ton of ore contains 1 ounce of that metal. This scaling makes laboratory results directly translatable to mining yields. While obsolete in modern industrial practice, where metric units dominate, the assay ton remains important in historical mining records and for researchers studying early industrial metallurgy.
