Convert teragram to tonne
Please provide values below to convert teragram [Tg] to tonne [t], or Convert tonne to teragram.
1 Tg = 1000000 t. To convert teragram to tonne, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 t = 1e-06 Tg). 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 Tg = 1000000 t
- 1 t = 1e-06 Tg
- 10 Tg = 10000000 t
- 100 Tg = 100000000 t
How to Convert Teragram to Tonne
1 Tg = 1000000 t
Example: convert 15 Tg to t:
15 Tg = 15 × 1000000 t = 15000000 t

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.
Tonne
A tonne (symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The tonne was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, consistent unit.
Current Use
The tonne is widely used internationally in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities.
