Convert Kiloton to Gram
Kiloton
The kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000,000 kilograms (1,000,000 kg) or 1,000 metric tons. It is used to measure very large masses, such as in industry and transportation.
The kiloton was introduced as part of the metric system to represent large quantities of mass. It is commonly used in fields like shipping, agriculture, and environmental science.
Gram
The gram (g) is a unit of mass in the metric system, and it is equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). Since the kilogram is the SI base unit of mass defined by the Planck constant (h), the gram is indirectly defined by the same constant. This modern definition ensures the gram's precision and stability as part of the International System of Units (SI).
The gram was introduced in 1795 during the French Revolution as part of the metric system's creation. Originally, it was defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at its maximum density (approximately 4°C). This practical link to water made it a convenient and universal reference. The gram served as a base unit of mass in early metric systems, but in 1889, the kilogram was adopted as the primary standard, making the gram a derived unit equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram.
