No, a million kilograms are a thousand tons. A megaton is a million tons.
A megaton is one million tons. A metric ton (or tonne) is about 2200 lbs. A ton is 2000 lbs. Multiply 1,000,000 times 2000, ten divide by 2200, and you will get about 907,184.74 metric tons in a megaton.
Well, mega means a million, so one megaton is basically a million pounds.
A megaton explosion.
A Megaton is the explosive force equal to that of 1 million metric tons of TNT. It is approximately 4.2 x 1015 joules.
6.5 million tons is equal to 6.5 billion kilograms.
26.775 A metric ton is equal to 1000 kilograms.
A megaton is one million tons (2,000,000,000 pounds).
1.3 million pounds is approximately equal to 589,670 kilograms.
1 million tons = 2 billion pounds or more commonly used as a measure of energy release in a nuclear bomb 4.184 petajoules
In the metric system, the prefix "mega-" denotes a factor of 1,000,000. Therefore, a megaton is equivalent to one million tons. Since a ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, a megaton is equal to 2 billion pounds. The number of zeros in a megaton is determined by the number of zeros in the numerical value of 2 billion, which is nine zeros.
mega roughly means million, so 1 megaton = 1 million tons. "Mega" means one million, ie 1 followed by six zeros. So a megaton means one million tons. "Mega" means one million, ie 1 followed by six zeros. So a megaton means one million tons.
One million kilograms is equal to 1,000 metric tons. This is a large unit of mass commonly used to measure heavy objects, such as large vehicles, building materials, or industrial equipment.
