Convert centigram to teragram
Please provide values below to convert centigram [cg] to teragram [Tg], or Convert teragram to centigram.
1 cg = 1.0000e-14 Tg. To convert centigram to teragram, multiply the value by 1.0000e-14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Tg = 1.0000e+14 cg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cg = 1.0000e-14 Tg
- 1 Tg = 1.0000e+14 cg
- 10 cg = 1.0000e-13 Tg
- 100 cg = 1.0000e-12 Tg
How to Convert Centigram to Teragram
1 cg = 1e-14 Tg
Example: convert 15 cg to Tg:
15 cg = 15 × 1e-14 Tg = 1.5e-13 Tg

Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centigram in teragram?
1 centigram (cg) = 1.0000e-14 teragram (Tg).
How do you convert centigram to teragram?
Multiply the centigram value by 1.0000e-14. For example, 25 cg × 1.0000e-14 = 2.5000e-13 Tg.
What is 10 centigram in teragram?
10 cg = 1.0000e-13 Tg.
Which unit is larger, the centigram or the teragram?
The teragram is the larger unit: 1 cg equals only 1.0000e-14 Tg.
