What is Tonne?

The tonne, also known as the metric ton, is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms. It was introduced alongside the metric system during the French Revolution to provide a convenient measure for large masses. The tonne is used globally in trade, shipping, and industry for expressing the weight of bulk goods, vehicles, and heavy machinery. For everyday reference, a typical passenger car weighs about 1 to 2 tonnes, and an adult African elephant weighs roughly 5 tonnes.

What is Milligram?

The milligram is one-thousandth of a gram and is essential for measuring very small masses. It is most commonly seen in pharmaceutical dosages, where active ingredients are specified in milligrams per tablet or capsule. Nutritional information on food packaging also lists vitamins and minerals in milligrams. In analytical chemistry and environmental science, milligrams are used to quantify trace substances in samples.
