1 t = 1000000 g (metric ton → gram)
1 t = 1000000 g
1 metric ton equals 1000000 grams. To convert metric tons to grams, multiply the metric ton value by 1000000. For quick reference: 1 t = 1000000 g, 5 t = 5000000 g, 10 t = 10000000 g, 100 t = 100000000 g.
Grams = Metric tons × 1000000Metric tonnes to grams multiplies by 1 000 000 (1 t = 1000 kg, 1 kg = 1000 g). A 1.5 t car is 1 500 000 g; a 0.001 t parcel is 1000 g. Nobody quotes a car in grams — the conversion exists mainly for programmatic contexts where a database normalises every mass to grams. Confirm which ton the source means first: only the metric tonne is exactly 1000 kg, while the US short ton is 907.18474 kg and converts to a different gram figure.
This direction is mostly a laboratory or research bookkeeping exercise — converting a bulk industrial tonnage down to the gram-scale sample a chemist actually weighs out. 0.001 t is 1,000 g, 0.25 t is 250,000 g, and 0.0005 t is 500 g. Because six orders of magnitude separate the two units, this conversion is really only meaningful when someone needs to specify a lab-scale sub-sample drawn from a bulk shipment recorded in tonnes on the purchase order.
Start with your value in metric tons.
Multiply the metric ton value by 1000000. This is the exact conversion factor from metric tons to grams.
The product is your value in grams. For example, 5 t × 1000000 = 5000000 g.
The exact factor from metric tons to grams is 1000000.

A small passenger car weighs about 1.5 t. A young African elephant weighs around 2 t. In grams, that gives you: 1 t = 1000000 g, 10 t = 10000000 g, 100 t = 100000000 g.
The metric ton, or tonne (t), equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard unit for industrial shipping, freight, and bulk commodities such as steel, grain, and cement. Despite the name, it is not part of the strict SI system (the SI name is the megagram), but it is universally accepted in commerce and engineering.
The gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. It is the everyday unit for food labeling, postage, jewelry, and laboratory measurements. The 2019 SI redefinition fixed the kilogram (and therefore the gram) in terms of Planck's constant, ending more than a century of dependence on a physical prototype.
