g to t · weight & mass conversion
What are grams and metric tons?
A gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram, about the mass of a small paperclip. A metric ton is 1,000 kilograms, used for vehicles, cargo, and bulk materials. For scale: a 70 kg adult weighs about 154 lb, and a bag of sugar is usually 1 kg (2.2 lb).
How to convert grams to metric tons
1 g = 0.000001 t. To convert, multiply the number of grams by 0.000001. For example, 5 g = 0.000005 t, and 20 g = 0.00002 t. To go the other way, multiply metric tons by 1,000,000 (since 1 t = 1,000,000 g).
