About Metric Ton (t)

A metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms (or roughly 2,205 pounds). The metric ton — also called "tonne" in international English — is the global commodity unit for bulk shipping, industrial manufacturing, agricultural yield (wheat, soybeans, steel), and CO₂ emissions reporting. It should not be confused with the US short ton (2,000 lb ≈ 907 kg) or UK long ton (2,240 lb ≈ 1,016 kg), which still appear in US and some British contexts respectively.

About Gram (g)

A metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). Grams are the everyday unit for cooking, nutrition labels, precious metals, pharmaceutical dosing, and chemistry. A US nickel weighs 5 grams; a standard paperclip about 1 gram. In international trade and laboratory work the gram provides a conveniently human scale between the milligram and the kilogram, which is why nutritional information worldwide is quoted per 100 grams.
