Yes. Grams use the same standard unit conventions as meters, bytes, liters, and anything else that uses the Greek naming conventions for unit sizes. So the next units smaller than milligrams would be:
1 microgram = 0.000 001 grams
1 nanogram = 0.000 000 001 grams
1 picogram = 0.000 000 000 001 grams
1 femtogram = 0.000 000 000 000 001 grams
1 attogram = 0.000 000 000 000 000 001 grams
1 zeptogram = 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001 grams
1 yoctogram = 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 001 grams

Yes, there is a unit of mass smaller than mg called μg, which stands for micrograms. 1 mg is equivalent to 1000 μg.
No, "g" stands for grams, which is a unit of mass, while "mg" stands for milligrams, which is a smaller unit of mass. 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams, so 1 g is bigger than 1 mg.
The SI unit of length is the meter (m) and the SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
To convert cc (cubic centimeters) to mg (milligrams), you need to know the density of the substance in question. Once you have the density, you can multiply the volume in cc by the density to get the mass in mg. The formula for the conversion is: mass (mg) = volume (cc) x density (mg/cc).
You would typically measure the mass of a snowflake in the metric unit of milligrams (mg), as snowflakes are very small and light objects.
Mg is the symbol for milligram, which is a unit of mass in the metric system. One milligram is equal to one thousandth of a gram.
