Kiloton (Metric)

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.

History/Origin

The term 'kiloton' originated in the 20th century, primarily used in military and scientific contexts to measure large quantities of explosive energy or mass, especially in nuclear weapon yields and large-scale industrial measurements.

Current Use

Today, kilotons are commonly used to express the explosive yield of nuclear weapons, the mass of large objects, and in scientific research related to energy and mass measurements.


Earth's Mass

Earth's mass (M_earth) is a unit of mass representing the mass of the Earth, approximately 5.972 Γ— 10^24 kilograms.

History/Origin

The concept of Earth's mass as a unit originated from scientific measurements of Earth's size and gravitational influence, becoming a standard reference in geophysics and astronomy.

Current Use

M_earth is used in scientific contexts to express planetary and astronomical masses, and in some cases, to compare the mass of other celestial bodies relative to Earth.
