Teragramme

Teragramme is a unit of mass in the metric system. It is equal to one trillion grams. The prefix "tera" signifies a factor of 10^12. Therefore, a teragramme is 10^12 grams. In terms of other metric units, a teragramme is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 kilograms or one billion kilograms. It is also equal to one million metric tons. The teragramme is a very large unit of mass, and is typically used to measure the mass of large geological formations, significant quantities of materials, or astronomical objects. For instance, the mass of a large asteroid might be measured in teragrammes. It is not a commonly encountered unit in everyday life, due to its immense scale. Its scientific utility lies in its ability to express extremely large masses without resorting to extremely large exponents when using grams.
