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.
