Milligram
Definition: A milligram (symbol: mg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a gram and one-millionth of a kilogram.
History/origin: The milligram is part of the International System of Units (SI). The prefix "milli-" indicates the division of the base unit by one thousand.
Current use: Milligrams are used almost exclusively in pharmacy, medicine, and chemistry to measure very small quantities of substances, such as the active ingredients in tablets.
Metric Ton
Definition: A metric ton (symbol: t), also known as a tonne, is a non-SI metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.6 pounds.
History/origin: The word comes from "tun," a term for a large cask of wine. The metric ton was created to provide a standardized unit for massive industrial and maritime freight.
Current use: Metric tons are used to measure the weight of vehicles, heavy machinery, bulk raw materials like coal and steel, and ship cargo.
