1 gigatonne (Gt) = 1,000,000,000,000 or 1012 kg
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.
"giga" is a prefix used to indicate "billion" or 109. 1 gigatonne = 109 tonnes, or 1,000,000,000 tonnes
One million of them.
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
A gigaton is a explosion that equalls to 1 BILLIONE tonz of tnt!
A gigaton is a unit of explosive power equivalent to one billion tons of TNT. In the context of a nuclear blast, it represents the amount of energy released by the detonation of a nuclear weapon, with the ability to devastate large areas and cause immense destruction.
Megaton Man was created in 1984.
Megaton Shotblast was created in 2001.
A megaton is bigger than a joule. A megaton is a unit of explosive force equivalent to one million tons of TNT, while a joule is a unit of energy.
The energy released by an earthquake is generally much greater than that of a nuclear weapon. Earthquakes can release energy equivalent to thousands of atomic bombs, depending on their magnitude. Nuclear weapons, while extremely powerful, typically release less energy compared to large earthquakes.
A megaton is one million tons (2,000,000,000 pounds).
1 gigaton is equal to 1000000000000000 grams. that's 15 zeroes after the 1 so in scientific notation that would be 1 x 10^15
The ship weighed almost one megaton.
Olivier Megaton's birth name is Olivier Fontana.
