A ton is 2000 pounds (907.185 kilos).
A metric ton is 2200 pounds (1000 kilos).
Answer
It depends on which 'ton' you are referring to. There are two 'tons': a 'long ton' and a 'short ton'. Both are Imperial units of mass. The 'long ton' is used in Britain and most countries within Britain's sphere of influence; the 'short ton' is used in the US and those countries within the US's sphere of influence. The 'long ton' comprises 2240 pounds, whereas the 'short ton' comprises 2000 pounds.
The 'tonne' (spoken as, 'metric ton') is a non-SI unit, equivalent to a mass of 1000 kg.
A mass of one tonne is equivalent to 0.984 206 (long) tons.
A mass of one tonne is equivalent to 1.102 311 (short) tons.
As you can see, a tonne is very close to a long ton.
a short ton is 2000 pounds a long ton is 2240 pounds a metric ton (tonne) is 1,000 kilograms, which weighs 2,204.62 pounds on Earth.
1 metric tonne is 0.98419 long ton (UK imperial) or 1.1023113109 short ton (US). 1 metric tonne = 1000 kilograms 1 US short ton = 907.185 kilograms 1 UK long ton = 1016.05 kilograms
A short ton, known in the United States simply as the "ton", is equal to 2,000 pounds (907.18 kilograms). The SI unit of measurement, the metric ton, or tonne, is 1,000 kilograms(2,204.62 pounds). The metric ton was introduced in 1960 to standardize measurements. Since the introduction of the metric system, the short ton is rarely used outside of the United States.

well there is no difference
Oh, yes. A US ton is 2000 pounds. A metric ton is 2204.6 pounds.
Cubic meter is a measurement of volume, and metric ton is a measurement of weight.
A ton is 2,000 lb.A Metric ton is 2,200 lb.Therefore:700 tons= 1,400,000 lb.700 Metric tons= 1,540,000 lb.So the difference is: 140,000 lb.

No, a metric ton is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms, while a ton (also known as a short ton) is equivalent to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907 kilograms. Therefore, a metric ton is smaller than a ton.

A gross ton (sometimes called the long ton) is equal to 2240 pounds. A metric ton (sometime referred to as the tonne) is 1000 kilograms, which is equivalent to 2205 pounds.
1 metric ton.1 metric ton.1 metric ton.1 metric ton.
One bone dry ton (BDT) is a volume of wood chips (or other bulk material) that would weigh one ton (2000 pounds, or 0.9072 metric tons) if all the moisture content was removed.Note the difference between "ton" (also known as US short ton) and "metric ton" (also known as tonne). A ton weighs 2000 pounds, while a metric ton weighs 2204.623 pounds.
Ton/Short ton/Net ton: 2000 lbs (US and metric systems) Long ton/Gross Ton: 2240 lbs (US and metric systems) Tonne/Metric ton: 2250 lbs or 1000 kg (metric system only) +++ The "Long Ton" (2240lbs) is called simply the "Ton" here in the UK, where in fact the tonne (1000kg) is now the official unit for trade and technical purposes.
