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.
47,900 pounds is 21.73 metric tons.
1 short ton = 0.9078 metric tons 1 long ton = 1.016 metric 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.
12,000 pounds is 5.443 metric tons.
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.
A Megaton is the explosive force equal to that of 1 million metric tons of TNT. It is approximately 4.2 x 1015 joules.
No, a million kilograms are a thousand tons. A megaton is a million tons.
One of two things: megatons and metric tons. Megaton- A TNT equivalent for rating the power of an explosive device. Metric ton- a mass unit equal to 1,000 kg.
19,500,000 tons = 17,690,102.4 metric tons.
There are 8.81849 short tons in 8 metric tons.
501.66 US tons is 455.1 metric tons.
5 metric tons is 5.51 tons.
It would take 4,000 tons of TNT to produce a 2 megaton explosion.
A megaton is one million tons (2,000,000,000 pounds).
There are 1,000 metric tons in a kiloton.
10000kg is 10 metric tons.
