About these units
Teragram (Tg)
A teragram equals 1,000 gigagrams, or 10⁹ kilograms. It is widely used in climatology, atmospheric science, and ecology to describe the mass of carbon, nitrogen, methane, or other substances exchanged annually between Earth's systems. For example, global carbon fluxes—movement of carbon between oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere—are typically measured in teragrams. Volcanoes, wildfires, and anthropogenic emissions often release substances on this scale. Tg-level measurements give researchers insight into the stability, sustainability, and long-term trends of Earth's ecosystems.
Sun's Mass (M☉)
The Sun's mass, approximately 1.9885 × 10³⁰ kilograms, dominates the solar system, comprising 99.86% of all its mass. Solar mass controls planetary orbits, defines the structure of the heliosphere, and fuels stellar fusion reactions that sustain life on Earth. Astronomers use the solar mass as a comparative unit for other stars, star clusters, and black holes, making it one of the most important astronomical constants.
