Megaton and ton are different things: megaton is a unit of enery; ton a unit of weight. A megaton is the energy released from detonation of TNT. A ton is 2,000 pounds.
Let's remove the term "ton" from the words. Then we're left with Mega and Kilo. Mega is a shortened term for 1,000,000 and Kilo is a shortened term for 1,000. Therefore 1 Mega ÷ 1 Kilo = 1,000 Kilotons in 1 megaton.
One million of them.
A megaton is equivalent to the destructive power of 1,000,000 (a million) tons of TNT. "Mega" is used as a prefix meaning "a million".

1 megaton TNT = 4.184 petajoules ( 4.184 x 1015 J )
1 ton = 2,000 pounds1 megaton = 1 million tons = 2,000,000,000 poundsOn Earth only, anything that weighs 2,000,000,000 pounds has 907,186,000 kg of mass. (rounded)
This is a sentence! A megaton is an explosive force of 1 million tons of TNT.
2,000
A Megaton is the explosive force equal to that of 1 million metric tons of TNT. It is approximately 4.2 x 1015 joules.
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.
Well, mega means a million, so one megaton is basically a million pounds.
Megaton and ton are different things: megaton is a unit of enery; ton a unit of weight. A megaton is the energy released from detonation of TNT. A ton is 2,000 pounds.
a megaton is bigger..
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.
Megaton Shotblast was created in 2001.
Megaton Man was created in 1984.
