Ton (Metric)

The metric ton (t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.

History/Origin

The metric ton was introduced as part of the metric system in the late 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, universal unit.

Current Use

The metric ton is widely used in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities worldwide.


Sun's Mass

The Sun's mass (M_sun) is a standard unit of mass used in astronomy to express the mass of other stars and celestial objects, approximately equal to 1.989 Γ— 10^30 kilograms.

History/Origin

The concept of using the Sun's mass as a unit originated in the early 20th century as astronomers sought a convenient standard for stellar masses. It became widely adopted in astrophysics for its practicality and ease of comparison.

Current Use

Today, M_sun is commonly used in astrophysics and astronomy to describe the mass of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, facilitating standardized communication and calculations within the scientific community.
