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".
.... nanogram = 0,00001 g microgram = 0,0001 g miligram = 0,001 g centigram = 0,01 g decigram = 0,1 g gram = 1 g decagram = 10 g hectogram = 100 g kilogram = 1000 g ton = 1000 kg kiloton = 1000 t megaton = 1000 kt ..... ~codekiddy.
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.
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)
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.
1 million tons = 2 billion pounds or more commonly used as a measure of energy release in a nuclear bomb 4.184 petajoules
A Megaton is the explosive force equal to that of 1 million metric tons of TNT. It is approximately 4.2 x 1015 joules.
2,000
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.
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.
Megaton Shotblast was created in 2001.
Megaton Man was created in 1984.
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.
A megaton is one million tons (2,000,000,000 pounds).
