About these units
Exagram (Eg)
An exagram, equal to 10¹⁵ kilograms, is used to describe masses of planets, moons, and extremely large terrestrial reservoirs (e.g., total mass of Earth's atmosphere ≈ 5 Eg). Because of its enormous scale, the exagram rarely appears outside astrophysics or large-scale geophysics. When used, however, it provides a powerful sense of magnitude—allowing scientists to describe Earth systems at the grandest scales with simple, comprehensible numbers.
Quintal (Metric) (cwt (m))
The metric quintal, equal to 100 kilograms, is commonly used in agriculture for measuring harvest yields, livestock feed, and bulk commodities such as grains, sugar, and potatoes. Its simplicity makes it popular in countries with strong agricultural sectors. Farmers, traders, and cooperatives find the quintal more intuitive for medium-sized loads than kilograms or metric tons. Though not an SI unit, it remains deeply embedded in agricultural commerce throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
