About these units
Ton (Assay) (UK) (AT (UK))
The UK assay ton, slightly different from the US version, is defined as 32.666 grams. Like its American counterpart, it was designed so that milligram-level assay results could be easily interpreted as ounces of metal per ton of ore. In British mining operations of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the UK assay ton streamlined economic decision-making by directly correlating lab-scale measurements with bulk extraction expectations. Although now historical, its existence illustrates how different countries tailored their measurement systems to local mining economics and metal markets.
Earth's Mass (M⊕)
Earth's mass is approximately 5.972 × 10²⁴ kilograms, a fundamental parameter in planetary science and orbital mechanics. It governs Earth's gravitational interaction with the Moon, Sun, and artificial satellites and shapes geological processes such as plate tectonics and atmospheric retention. Planetary scientists use Earth masses to compare exoplanets, enabling quick insights into habitability, composition, and gravitational characteristics.
