1 ton of quartz sand weighs 2,000 pounds, and oranges are colored orange.
1 metric ton = 1000 Kg It doesn't matter if it is dry sand, wet sand or anything else. A 'metric ton' is often just called a 'tonne', to distinguish it from the other two types of tons (British ton and US ton).
It depends on the density of the sand, between about 1.4 tons dry, 1.7 tons rammed, dry. Wet sand will be heavier.
1 ton, but I don't know whether that's a short ton or a long ton. A cubic ton is a measurement of volume (i.e. how much space it takes up). A cubic ton of sand is how much space a ton of sand takes up. A cubic ton of timber is how much space a ton of timber takes up, and as timber is lighter than sand, a cubic ton of timber is larger than a cubic ton of sand, even though they both weigh the same. As for the volume of a cubic ton of sand, I have no idea. You could get a rough answer this way: "m" divided by "d" where m =one ton in whatever units you are using (e.g. kg) and d = density of sand (in the same units)
There is no opposite of 1 ton, as you cannot have a negative measurement of weight.
