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.
