About these units
Petagram (Pg)
A petagram, equal to 10¹² kilograms, is used almost exclusively in global environmental science and earth system modeling. Planetary-scale carbon budgets—for example, the total carbon stored in Earth's soils or forests—are expressed in petagrams. The Amazon rainforest alone holds on the order of 100 Pg of carbon. Using petagrams helps researchers track changes in Earth's climate balance and evaluate feedback loops in the carbon cycle.
Hectogram (hg)
A hectogram equals 100 grams and is common in food markets in Italy, Greece, and parts of Latin America. Consumers often purchase cheese, cold cuts, or dry goods in hectograms because it provides a comfortable scale—neither too large nor too small. In scientific contexts, hectograms sometimes appear in hydrology, meteorology, or soil science, where medium quantities are more intuitively expressed using this unit. Though overshadowed globally by the kilogram, the hectogram survives where cultural habits align with metric logic.
