About these units
Megagram (Mg)
A megagram, equal to 1,000 kilograms, is identical in quantity to the metric ton (tonne). While "tonne" is common in daily life, Mg is preferred in engineering, environmental science, and formal scientific writing because it is unambiguous and adheres strictly to SI conventions. Megagrams are used to express masses of vehicles, construction materials, waste output, or agricultural yields in large-scale analyses. The unit is especially useful in Earth sciences, where megagram quantities describe biomass, sediment transport, or volcanic emissions.
Talent (Biblical Greek) (talent (G))
The Greek talent was far heavier than the Hebrew one, typically around 26 kilograms, depending on the city-state. It was the principal unit of mass for large sums in trade, tribute, and taxation. In classical Athens, a talent represented extraordinary wealth, often used to quantify state revenues or military expenses. It also appears in the New Testament, where it symbolizes substantial value. The Greek talent was divided into 60 minae, each of which subdivided further into drachmae.
